I had a bug and crashed after drinking water from my bowl while hosting a MS Wallop session. It tuned out that my paw sensors were sending a signal telling me too scratch my ear and when I did, it screwed up my .NET programming security protocols. I've since rebooted and am writing Flying Nun scripts for Warner Bros.. I wonder if these scripts are my property or the eclusive domain of my new master and chief software architect.

Almost 5 decades ago, when I was an apprentice machinist at Generous Electric, we had to fill out a notebook, every day, listing every project we worked on -- and sign it. Same for other corporate employment. The function of these records was to guarantee their patent and design rights over anything I worked on. The only time I've come out ahead on one of these issues was in a dispute over marketing materials [photos, brochure design, copy] I designed for the last firm I worked for -- before my current employer. I used my own computer, digital camera, working from my home/office to design. I was able to take my work with me. I was also thoughtful enough in advance to put my own tiny bug in some corner of every piece I produced -- to prove it was mine. Why make it easy for the lawyers?

Cambridge is merely playing catch-up. Nearly all large universities do the same thing, as do large corporations. I'm not saying what they're doing is right, it's just old news.
