We have 15 line long copyright messages at the top of all our source-code files.
When I have them open in emacs, that wastes a lot of valuable space.
Is there any way to get emacs to always a hide a certain message but still leave it in the file?

On your Mac, select a file, then choose File > Get Info, or press Command-I. Click the arrow next to Name & Extension to expand the section. To show or hide the filename extension, select or deselect “Hide extension.”
Keep a JPG photo ready with you on your desktop as you'll be hiding your files in it. You'll need to add the files that you want to hide to a ZIP archive. To do this, right-click on your files, click on Send to, and choose Compressed (zipped) folder.
You can use hideshow minor mode which is a standard built-in package that has a generalized command called hs-hide-initial-comment-block that will do what you want without having to know how long the top comment section is. You can add it to the mode-hook of any language, but here's an example using C:
(add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 'hs-minor-mode t)
(add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 'hs-hide-initial-comment-block t)
Note, it does not hide specifically just the copyrights, but the full initial comment block which may hide useful documentation, as well.
