I think the setting the position to relative and offsetting the main div from
the top by 5% is causing the copyright notice to go off the screen.

(The notice was always visible for me, but as I as the height of the window
grew, 5% became bigger and more of the bottom was cut off. When the window was
very small horizontally, i could see the bottom of the main div's border)

If you just want padding on the left and top sides try:

DIV.main { background-color : #FFFFFF;
           margin-left      : 10%;
           margin-top       : 5%;
           width            : 80%;
           border-style     : groove;
}
