From: We Reserve The Right To Your Image “Throughout The Universe” And Beyond (TBI)

Several of the contracts discussed contain amusing and all-encompassing language. Here are some highlights:

  • From a contract for guests on a PBS station: I agree [to]…make use of any incidents of my life in any and all editions of the Project…and to reproduce and publish the same throughout the universe in perpetuity, in any and all media now known or hereinafter devised…“
  • From a contract with Lucasfilm Ltd.: If…you send us creative suggestions…[they] shall be deemed and shall remain the property of Lucas in perpetuity. By making any Submission, the sender automatically grants…Lucas the royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive right…throughout the universe and/or to incorporate it…in any form….now known or hereafter developed, for the full term of any copyright…”
  • A contract a Pickle company uses with banks: Spicy Pickle is released form all claims “from the beginning of time…”
