I think the work your putting into this is amazing, your screen caps look outstanding. I agree that the inspiration that the site cause is reason enough to document it, but I think also the indepth look at a restoration project like this will provide insight to so many people and be a useful resource for so many other projects by so many other people that your taking the time to document it is great.
and also not to nit pick or anything but in reference to the first point you made.
1) About "legal vs. illegal": spirit of the law vs. letter of the law. It's illegal to take the tags off your bed mattress. That's letter of the law. No one's been arrested for it. That's sprit of the law. Posting screencaps, as I do on my site, is illegal (letter of the law) and is nonetheless permitted on thousands of sites across the internet by Lucasfilm (spirit of the law). As for the "backup" legality, etc., I'm not eager to spout more ignorant ramblings on the topic, so I'll leave that to a lawyer if the occaision arises.
the consumer is allowed to remove the tag from your matress as the tag actually starts: "UNDER PENALTY OF LAW THIS TAG SHALL NOT BE REMOVED EXCEPT BY THE CONSUMER"
as found here
also found this and i know its off topic but thought it was interesting:
"Back in the 1900s, mattresses often contained a host of vermin and disease-carrying materials. To protect consumers, the government required dealers to post tags on their mattresses listing the contents. Later, the Feds added a warning to the content tag with the ominous message, "Do not remove under penalty of law," in big, black letters."
