With LilyPond 2.2 and earlier, copyright it will only show up if
the first page does not happen to be also the last page, for TeXnical
reasons.

This is a documented bug, see

   
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Invoking-lilypond.html

A hack around that, is to add copyright also to the tagline field if
you know it will be one page.

This is fixed in 2.3.x, where LilyPond handles page layout itself.

Greetings,
Jan.
