It sounds awfully dodgy to me, but then I'm not a lawyer and don't even play one on TV. Good luck!<BR/><BR/>AngieAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920578701763415331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847902007209931042.post-29566637804020793512009-01-09T04:15:00.000-08:002009-01-09T04:15:00.000-08:00Hey, just spotted this post while googling "non-di...Hey, just spotted this post while googling "non-disparagement".<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the opinions!

That's where legal defense funds can come in very handy, with groups of relatively poor members of some interest group building a legal fund so they <I>can</I> go after any 800-pound gorillas who decide to muscle in where they shouldn't. The fanfic fans have plans for building one; I've been wondering whether the profic side has anything similar, maybe through one or more of the writers' organizations? I've never seen a mention of anything like that, but it could be useful. To say nothing of actually giving members something concrete to show for their dues money.<BR/><BR/>AngieAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920578701763415331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847902007209931042.post-5014988953846645782008-10-09T00:14:00.000-07:002008-10-09T00:14:00.000-07:00My rule of thumb is that lawsuits go to the one wi...My rule of thumb is that lawsuits go to the one with the most money. <BR/><BR/>And no company will ever pay you enough to successfully sue them.Steve Malleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17561234111786788616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847902007209931042.post-45910699857780129142008-10-07T13:30:00.000-07:002008-10-07T13:30:00.000-07:00I don't think it'd stand up either, but I guess it...I don't think it'd stand up either, but I guess it depends how you define "disparagement."<BR/><BR/>And even if it wouldn't, if you're a publisher and your writers <I>think</I> it's binding, then that's good enough. :/<BR/><BR/>AngieAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920578701763415331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847902007209931042.post-77911215733468296572008-10-07T06:50:00.000-07:002008-10-07T06:50:00.000-07:00Hum, never seen anything like that.Hum, never seen anything like that.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847902007209931042.post-7875144758175311222008-10-07T05:11:00.000-07:002008-10-07T05:11:00.000-07:00I've experienced a similar thing with work--a don'...I've experienced a similar thing with work--a don't be an embarrassment to the service or you're subject to punishment or loss of job.
