I don't know how effective a tool it would be in court, but speaking for myself, web.archive.org has a record of my music page (with a list of "songs", i.e., incomplete snippets of songs, that I'd published, i.e., made available for download) going back to 2001. The page actually went up in 1996, and existed as a handful of mp3's and MIDI files prior to that, but apparently archive.org didn't find my site till 2001. I think you can force web.archive.org to fetch a page (and then keep track of changes) by searching for it, though. Of course, web.archive.org doesn't archive the MIDI or mp3 files as far as I know, but at least it's a record that you published them. Rob
