And then of course, there's the glorious and oft-protested CanWest freelancer's agreement!!

"Freelancer hereby irrevocably grants and assigns to CanWest all rights of every kind in and to the Content (including copyright), and agrees that CanWest shall have the right to exclusively use and exploit the Content in any manner and in any and all media, whether now known or hereafter devised, throughout the universe, in perpetuity."

Which is so ludicrous as to be funny. Now tell me Conrad Black doesn't deserve a hundred years in jail.
