Practice question
A company outsources retention of electronic records to a third party. All Section 13(a) accessibility, accurate-format and identifying/date-time conditions are satisfied. Is outsourcing alone disqualifying?
- Yes; only the original author may store any electronic record.
- Yes; third-party storage necessarily transfers copyright and ownership.
- No; because outsourcing removes every statutory safeguard.
- No; Section 13(b) permits third-party services if those conditions are met.
- Yes; only foreign third parties can satisfy the Act.
