Without a precise, concise, exhaustive contract, it risks conflict and litigation that can get real, real fast.

  Obviously, I agree in principle with this, but I would write a cautionary counter-argument: If you are making agreements and signing contracts without understanding the legal default position, you are doing so from an exceptionally poor negotiating position. People who do sign contracts should equally be prepared for possible conflict and litigation, and act to mitigate this with good communication skills and an honest commitment to the agreement (and by knowing basic IP principles). Nothing is ever 100% clear upfront; no contract can account for every contingency: no contract can be exhaustive.
