The Cracks Are Starting To Show

The Cracks Are Starting To Show Criminal & Illegal, New Hires, Office, Technology, USA | Working | November 9, 2023 The place where I worked had a policy in the hiring documents where any software you wrote would belong to the company regardless of whether you did it at work or home. While signing my hiring documents, I politely asked: Me: “So, if I recreationally cracked video games at home, would it be your responsibility to deal with the copyright infringement, since you own the crack?” Less than a week later, all employees had to sign a new contract specifying that malware, cracks, and other illegal software were excluded from the ownership clause.

Это скриншот юмористического поста о сотруднике, который при подписании документов спросил, будет ли компания отвечать за взломанные им дома видеоигры, поскольку по договору ей принадлежит всё написанное сотрудниками программное обеспечение. Через неделю компания изменила договор и исключила вредоносные программы, кряки и другое незаконное ПО из пункта о собственности. Шутка строится на буквальном использовании формулировки договора и на том, что сотрудник невольно указал работодателю на юридическую лазейку. EN: This is a humorous post about an employee who, while signing hiring documents, asked whether the company would be responsible for video games he cracked at home because the contract assigned the company ownership of all software written by employees. Less than a week later, the company changed the contract to exclude malware, cracks, and other illegal software from the ownership clause. The joke relies on taking the contract wording literally and accidentally pointing out a legal loophole to the employer.
