With a small bit of Emacs Lisp you can do something like this:

    (defun flp-insert-copyright (copy-text)
      (let ((start (point)))
        (insert "Copyright © 2009 Furlan Lawrence Primus. All rights reserved.")
        (when copy-text
          (copy-region-as-kill start (point)))))

    (global-set-key (kbd "<f9>") (lambda ()
                                   (interactive)
                                   (flp-insert-copyright nil)))

    (global-set-key (kbd "<f8>") (lambda ()
                                   (interactive)
                                   (flp-insert-copyright t)))

This should work fine, AFAICT.  The same basic function can do both of
the things you described.  Wrapping it in a `lambda' form that calls the
basic function with different arguments depending on the key you typed
is relatively easy (but it does require a bit of Emacs Lisp code, as you
can see the `global-set-key' calls I wrote).
