Are you sure about that? Maybe email+print alone will not hold up, but check the ESign act of 2000: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Signatures_in_Global

There are definitely electronic forms of contracts that are legal without me ever having to put an ink pen on a dead tree.
I bought car insurance from Geico entirely online. Never signed anything or faxed anything. Just typed in my initials and checked some boxes ... only thing I had to print was the card that goes in my glove box.
- dualboot 17y agoIn some places - but not everywhere. Fax is still immensely important when dealing with credit applications, leases, etc. Also in many places documents you print with an inkjet printer are not technically legal. The laws regarding the technologies are mostly really dumb but that is what you usually get when law and technology meet.
- holygoat 17y agoDo you have a citation for your inkjet assertion? I'm intrigued.
