Re: <nettime> intellectual property, Hollywood style

[Jeffrey Fisher <jfisher@igc.org>]

this work made for hire thing is something freelance writers are fighting
more and more and in more and more venues. virtually all contracts signed
through third-party employment firms are work-made-for-hire, for instance.

even as a full-timer at a hip internet consulting company, basically
everything i think is owned by my employer. makes me wary of being too
terribly creative on the side, if you see what i mean. my life is work made
for hire.

huh. i wonder if i should be saying this in public with my name attached.
oh, well.
