You may want to take a look at the disclaimers posted by the online sites. You may find that the records are not the same according to the websites legal department. The gateway to these sites almost always claims they are the "official" public records exactly like like you would find at the courthouse. But if you want the truth, read the disclaimers and you most likely find the records presented online are not official, up-to-date, or guaranteed accurate.
The disclaimers take the county and their technology partners off the hook but they leave you with the hook buried deep in your throat. Maybe you should append a copy of the website's disclaimer to every search you do online, but I doubt you would find many clients willing to accept these terms for your work.
