In the US at least, if you have a sealed envelope with a postal mark indicating when it was put inside, it is acceptable in most courts as proof of copyright. I imagine you could do the same thing with a CD -- only problem is the degrading over time issue. But isn't there also a massive web archive? I know I've gone into one and found dead pages I authored almost ten years ago. I'll bet if it comes to a court case, that will work just as well.
