It's a bit difficult to give any hard and fast legal rules on a site like this because of it's global nature, and what may be true for one country may get you in all sorts of trouble somewhere else.

Woops. sorry, wasnt paying attention to this thread... this is rule is based on American law. the best thing to do is found some kind of union or orgnizaton...like im part of the asmp (American society of media photographers) and they have lawyers who will answer questions for you for free about laws and such.
