the two men that wrote the lyrics, and the year in which the song was copyrighted.
Partial lyrics of the last verse are:
"Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
I'd love to turn you on."

the name of the song is A Day In The Life, the band that recorded it was The Beatles (John Lennon & Paul McCartney original) and it was first recorded in 1967.
When Lennon first started writing the song lyrics he was reading the Daily Mail newspaper when two stories caught his eye. one, the death of Tara Browne (the heir to the guinness fortune) who drove their Lotus into the back of a parked lorry, and the other was about a plan to fill 4,000 pothloes in the streets of Blackburn, Lancashire. The song doesn't include a literal description of the accident, although it does mention "traffic lights and a crowd forming at the scene"....hope that helps you.

Now you said copyrighted and then I would say 1966. Technicality is that in the United Kingdom music is copyrighted as soon as you compose it in a manner of speaking. Now the song was started in 1966, but recorded starting in 1967. Here is what wikipedia states. So read em and weep.
British law states that an individual's work is placed under copyright law as soon as it leaves that person's mind and is placed in some physical form, be it a painting, a musical work written in manuscript or an architectural schematic. Once in physical form, as long as it is an original work (in the sense of not having been copied from an existing work, rather than in the sense of being novel or unique), copyright in that work is automatically vested in (i.e. owned by) the person who put the concept into material form.
So we know that the song was started in 1966 and therefore copyrighted in that year. Now if you had said when it was FULLY first recorded then 1967 is the answer.
