- RiderOfGiraffes 17y agoAs I said, no, I'm not a lawyer. (EDIT: I am especially not a lawyer in the USA, let alone California) Updating the laws is not the issue. I am an employer and I use a contract that states explicitly that anything anyone does in their own time without affecting the work they do for me, belongs to them. That's my choice, that's an explicit contract. (Added in EDIT: I believe people with good intentions should not be taken advantage of, that's why I have the explicit contract.) The default contract doesn't say that. Your employer is a lawyer - he will know. As I said earlier, you goofed. Take the pain, take the lesson.
