Since the Off Topic forum seems to be of little help, I'm asking this here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am working on a graduate thesis on blockchain utility, and I'm struggling to find a certain reference.
I remember there once being a debate as to whether or not non-impact printed documents could be considered legally binding. The philosophy at the time was that only documents or contracts printed with impact keys (such as from a typewriter) were considered legally binding, but documents printed with ink or laser jet were not considered legally binding due to the perceived ease in manipulating them at a later date.
Can someone tell me when this was, which legislation was impacted, and/or who was arguing on either side? I know I didn't just imagine that this was once a thing.
Thanks!
