Re: Legally binding copy of a web page

This is true; I have done this with things I have written.  Mailing it to
yourself provides a legal date and copyright (I always send it by certified
mail too).  You wouldn't even need to burn it onto a CD if you don't have a
CD burner (although I agree that would be best).  Just printouts of the
pages would be sufficient.  Just don't do like I did one time and
absentmindedly open the package when it is mailed to you!
