I have a need to change the copyright information on a bunch of cr2 raw files from my camera.  I have my camera set to auto add copyright information.  Just my name and all rights reserved.  I am not sure what I need to do to edit the all rights reserved part as I am planning to creative commons these images and I forgot to adjust the camera settings.

Thanks in advance

To write a new copyright, use something like this
exiftool -Copyright="New Notice" -CopyrightNotice="New Notice" -Rights="New Notice" <FileOrDir>

That will set the three major copyright tags to what you want.  If you want to batch recurse into subdirectories, use the -r (recurse) option.  This command will make backup files.  Use the Overwrite_Original option to suppress that.  Add the -P (preserve) option to keep the current file system modify date.
* Did you read FAQ #3 and use the command listed there?
* Please use the Code button for exiftool code/output.
 
* Please include your OS, Exiftool version, and type of file you're processing (MP4, JPG, etc).
