  This article says the exemptions include, among other things: “The nature of moonlighting work is in direct conflict with the company. For example, working with or providing consultations to competitors, competing for an employer’s clients, or activities that harm the goodwill or reputation of your employer.” https://www.aegislawfirm.com/blog/2023/01/california-moonlighting-law/ https://www.aegislawfirm.com/blog/2023/01/california-moonlig... I think it would be hard to argue that a book scanner competes with an online ebook store, since one is an archival tool and one is a commercial store. Someone could host illegal copies of copyrighted works and they would be competing with apple’s legitimate work, but those people would be the ones competing with apple, not the creator of a tool they used in the process.

    There's not just the moonlighting law, there's also copyright assignment for software written. California also protects that, but under different rules.
