Most modern copyright laws protect materials for the life of the author plus 50 (or 70) years, so the date the work was produced doesn't affect the term of copyright.

However, corporate works (for example a movie, a magazine, anything that was created by a large number of contributors) are protected for an amount of time starting when they were created or released to the public, so the date would be crucial in determining the status.

In the US, works prior to the last major revision of the copyright law (1976, coming into effect in 1978) are protected based on their original copyright date as well.
