Practice question: Electronic Documents, Data Messages, and Signatures

Multiple Choice Hard Jurisprudence

Practice question

A record-conversion service preserves readable content but loses all means to identify originator, addressee and sending or receipt date and time. It invokes Section 13 solely because the text can be opened. Which is best?
  1. Accessibility alone does not satisfy all of Section 13's retention conditions.
  2. Readable text eliminates every metadata requirement.
  3. The conversion automatically becomes an electronic signature.
  4. Loss of identifying information always increases evidential reliability.
  5. Section 13 addresses only the price of storage devices.
