Hi,

As far as I remember you explicitly select all pictures you want to 
copy-write in one go. <ctlr><A> is your friend.
Extended search also has some capabilities useful for that purpose.
Try it with a smaller batch.
Lots of pictures at one time take much of that.

You also minimize the risk of overwriting existing copywrite information.
Think of the year or anything which is special to a particular group of 
pictures.
