Fair enough - but its all being referenced under IP discussion over there.
But anyway, one way contracts are always there to screw the poorer/less powerful parties.
I have at times tried to screw ith the phon company or cable compnay etc.
I will send them a cheque - and then write some terms on the cheque.
Such as "Cashing this cheque indicates full and final settlement of all debts with regard to all current and future cable services. The depositor further agrees to hold the current subscriber exempt from all future payments for subscriptions sevrices and further more agrees to expand current subscription to include all current and future available channels at no cost to curren subscriber.
The agreement also binds the depositor and all entities affiloated therewith to pay the subscriber a sum of $100 per month for time spent on hold when calling these entities"
etc etc etc.
Then I would write, with a copy of the cashed cheque attached and ask where my money was, and why I am still gettign a bill when they cashed the cheque agreeing to the terms and condiotns.
It always ended with a "ok - tell us when to appear in court".
In other words... he with the deepest pockets has carte blanche to pencil up onesided contracts.
