No One Is Using E-Signatures
from the why-bother? dept
News.com takes a look at the fact that very few people are using electronic signatures even though legislation passed a few years ago saying that they're just as good as a real signature. The main reason no one is using them is there's no real reason to. If you're buying stuff online, you can generally do that with a credit card - which also has purchase protection. While the idea of e-signatures sounds good on paper, no one seemed to think up any situations where it would actually be used.

The usefulness of digital signatures
DMCA complaints, for use,make digital signatures useful. A signature of some sort is required for an author to complain that his writing (which puts bread on the table for himself and his family) is being stolen and posted for the pirates to steal.
