"Federal courts now routinely accept an individual’s electronic “click” or “tap” within an electronic transfer of copyright document as a valid “electronic signature” fulfilling the signature requirements of the Copyright Act of 1976."

See things like this are dangerous. To the uninformed the above looks so simple. "Federal courts now accept" (and the rest of this article) totally ignore the cost and practicality of bringing any legal action. And guess what? The other side, when they are trying to screw you, is aware of that and will use it against you.

Back in the late 90's we had the opposite thing happen. Paid $6500 +- for a freelancer (related to a well know internet celebrity at the time) to write some software (total cost maybe 20k iirc.) Time dragged on and on and they were not able to deliver.

You know what? We just walked away from the money. What to do? Sue someone in another state over $6500?
