I can sign the document i wrote. I can sign document, written by other, on
which i have control, can update, verify the quality or, almost, i have
trust. If i have to sign document,  which i have paid and not have control,
weel, i am crazy or silly. It is as i have to sign m$ software. Only for
distribute it.

So the digital signature became a joke. And i not like this.
