Post Some Contracts are just... lol!
So I'm doing my daily webcomics troll and followed a link to a rant about TokoyoPop's (a world-wide manga publishing company) submission "pact".

radiomaru.lj - Statement

After reading though that I'm thinking "Well it's just a person filling up his/her blog with made up material.". You know like the national news agencies do. But then I downloaded TP's submission contract...

http://www.tokyopop.com/ugc/tokyopop...08-Feb-01).pdf

... ummm.... HOLY CRAP!

What the hell! It's really written like a 6th grader wrote it!! But damn it's so full of BS on so many levels in order to take FULL advantage of the people who "Want to break into the market." that it's amazing that someone or group hasn't nailed TP to the wall for it!

I know Jedilaw will get a kick outta this.

“MORAL RIGHTS” AND YOUR CREDIT
“Moral rights” is a fancy term (the French thought it up) that basically has to do with having your name attached to your creation (your credit!) and the right to approve or disapprove certain changes to your creation. Of course, we want you to get credit for your creation, and we want to work with you in case there are changes, but we want to do so under the terms in this pact instead of under fancy French idea. So, in order for us to adapt the Manga Pilot for different media, and to determine how we should include your credit in tough situations, you agree to give up any "moral rights" you might have.

Of course, you still have your rights under this pact to your credit.
That just makes me LOL! hard!!
