    Would anyone ever sign a contract like that? To be interviewed about your area of expertise? It's crazy. Apparently others have signed it

        @GlennF I know, I don't even think they realize what the contract actually says, but I've been in IP battles before and it's not pretty

        @avantgame Yeah, I think sometimes they copy and paste clauses meant for work-for-hire.

        @GlennF the whole contract defines me as work-for-hire, even though I'm being interviewed as an expert.

        @avantgame sounds simply nonsense. Unless you do a script of exactly the things you are ok to give away, you can almost ruin your career!

        @avantgame maybe they thought that nobody could enforce ownership of an idea and they didn't mind giving up copyright in the words they use

        @avantgame Apparently, others don't read contracts before signing them either.

        @avantgame that is so crazy. Are people hard up for cash to sign such an insane contract? Or maybe not understand what IP ownership means?

        @avantgame perhaps you can turn it into a game & see how many times/ways you can get them to repeat the same question. Bonus for nonsense.
