I get the feeling the real issue is not these four points, which are legalistic and vague. The issue is whether you can pay someone way less than what they'd otherwise be paid for the same work, just by saying they're contractors. A lot of software contractors get paid quite a lot more than comparable salaried employees, so they don't complain.
