Stop Letting Powerful Men Silence Victims with Confidentiality Agreements.

The appearance of the term "intellectual property" in the article shows that the author has fallen into the confusion which that term generally spreads. If he had said "trade secrets", he would have made a coherent and clear statement.

However, other confused people have taught him the habit of using the vague term "intellectual property", and he didn't know that he was bringing in other irrelevant laws. Nondisclosure agreements have nothing to do with copyrights, patents, trademarks, plant variety monopolies, or publicity rights. Including them here was a mistake.

I refuse to sign a nondisclosure agreement for generally useful technical information, such as software. They are a conspiracy to keep society in the dark.
