But if upstream is the copyright holder one would expect it to be
legally binding noneless. You cannot (bad analogy) sign a contract
with you bank and after some time decide, that the sugnature has been
"wrong". The same applies to adding copyright statements to your
product: It is a declaration of intent and as such should have legally
binding force. Just your tough look if you weren't awake enough when
you did that.
So as a first approximation I'd say: Declaration of intent -> legally
binding. Proofability is another matter altogether, but there is often
a number of witnesse which could state that the downloaded the very
same file with exctly these copyright notices.
