Re: Contract Advice Needed, Quick! Can someone read this & provide an opinion?

The clause is generic language, and will apply to everything you produce under 
the contract/  The contract should also contain language that specifies you are 
doing work for hire, that anything you create on behalf of the client under the 
contract becomes the property of the client upon payment.  If you are doing work 
for other clients or for yourself, you should include a rider specifically 
excluding that work.
