Hi Randy:
Immediately scout for another agency, There are many out there who are worth
working for, who do not use this type of sweatshop tactics.
No job is worth what they're asking you to do, which is to voluntarily put
yourself under the total control of people whom you have already seen are not
worth your trust. You obviously have an instinct that is warning you against
signing this contract, with its restrictive wording about releasing all rights
to anything for any reason.
