Well it answered my question and reminded me that I removed lots of such personal copyrights because I almost completely changed the code or I think personal copyrights are not correct way as Axel stated :-( I myself got rejected a couple of times because of that in my early years to openSUSE
openSource lives from contribution, and for that reason I feel that kudos should be given to those who contribute. If it means 'leave the original (c) in the spec file', thats perfectly fine with me. (That means - personal copyrights *are* correct - but you still grant GPL rights to whom ever.) Copyrights are treated different around the world, and there is a mismatch between US and German jurisdiction (just for example).
