"that you will receive no value" is hardly opaque, even if the rest is. Any contract that said that would have me pouring over it with a fine-tooth comb. Or more likely, just rejected it and finding work elsewhere.
I wonder if that contract is subject to legal action, though? Seems to me that was a deliberate attempt to screw him over. He shouldn't have signed it, but they shouldn't have written it, either.
I'm now serious considering canceling my Skype subscriptions and finding alternatives, despite how useful they are to me a the moment.
Yeah, I suspect they would have a decent chance at collecting some sort of payout with legal action even though they did sign contracts. It would be common sense to expect notification when such a substantial change was added to an original contract.
