I got a little confused of this article. Firstly, the author try to say that side projects are belong to the company hires you as full time employee, and, then throw the game designer example, but it sounds to me like the game designer is contractor not a full-time employee, so, it follows the default copyright, I am ok with that, and then, the author start using this case to approve the relationship between your side project and your employer as you are a full time employee. Am I missed some info?
I remember that in Canada, the full time employee contract mentions something like, 40 hours per week, and also explicitly mention if you use company's property or equipments to produce some, or you produce some at company venue, then all copyright belongs to the company.
- eridius 10y agoThe game designer is a full-time employee.
- stevesun21 10y ago'You are going to pay the game designer $6,000 a month to invent new games.' This is what origin say in the article, it sounds to me really not like a full time employee.
- eridius 10y agoThat's $72k a year, which sounds like a full-time employee somewhere outside of silicon valley. In addition, you don't generally pay contractors a fixed amount per month, but rather per hour. Note how the example of Sarah the contractor has the pay rate set at $20 per hour. Also, further on down, it explicitly says the game designer is being paid a salary, which is something that employees, not contractors, get.
