I've written before about how lawyers' obsession with having their actual signatures on e-filed documents can lead to trouble. Now, from Rick Borstein's excellent blog comes a great post about how to create a transparent signature stamp. I was alerted to this by Dennis Kennedy whose post has some great resources links to information about electronic signatures.

Images of your handwritten signature are easily copied electronically. There's no way to protect it from copying once it's displayed on someone's computer (simple image capture using imaging software) or when printed and then scanned back in.
Once you have the image, you can then paste it into as many different documents as you want -- for electronic look-alikes, or for then printing back onto paper documents.

Don't forget to consider using a Tablet PC. Much easier and quicker!

Thanks for sharing. However, using electronic signatures isn't the same as using images of your signature. It is legally bound and permanently attached to a document.

I hate to break it to you, but anyone can take a signed piece of paper, scan it into a computer, and do the same thing.
