This is something companies which use freelancers heavily are increasingly doing. not because they're legally required to, but because it's beneficial to both parties, and beneficial to their reputation to their employer - something that's becoming increasingly important as creators and fans become more closely linked and more able to communicate and more interested in communicating.You can stomp your foot angrily and say "NOT IN YOUR CONTRACT!", but neither is making a cup of tea for the guy fixing your boiler, nor is tipping a lot of people who do work for you, but you probably do those, right? This similar but on a corporate scale. It's increasingly becoming both the norm, and the smart move for companies which use contractors to a high degree (no-one is expecting this of companies who barely ever hire contractors).It's okay to not know things. I didn't know about this until a couple of months ago. But to then act like it's completely unreasonable just because it's new to you, even if you were initially surprised, isn't really helping anyone, including you.</blockquote>
