Re: Legally binding copy of a web page

Well if you need to have an image of the page.. why not do screen shots of
what you need, put it on a floppy or burn it to a CD.. then label it.  Put
it in a brown manilla envelope, and mail it to yourself.  That post mark is
a legal thing, it is how you can legally establish a date, and is how some
work the copyright of things, or so I have heard.  Only when you get it
don't open it.  It has to remain sealed.
I would burn it to CD if I could, for some reasons I don't trust floppies
too much.

Someone else may have a better suggestion.

Good Luck.
