There has been a growing trend over the course of many years now where photographers have been asked to sign contracts that contain predatory terms and conditions. Predatory terms and conditions in this article are any contract language that transfer your intellectual property to another party without fair compensation. In this article, several real-world examples are shown to educate you on what predatory language looks like.

Attorney Bert P. Krages II is also a photographer. He wrote a free, one-page, downloadable PDF that outlines your rights as a photographer in the event you are ever confronted for taking photographs. He calls this page The Photographer's Right. Mr. Krages is also the author of a book on the very same subject called Legal Handbook for Photographers.

I found these rules on a music artist's fan page on a social networking site. I would like pointers to other similarly offensive photo contest rules. Post a link to the rules and name what section in the rules contains the offensive language. This will be helpful for every member of this community.
