I would add that it is the interpretation of the law in the interests
of their client, not the absolute correctness of that interpretation.
The corporate lawyer would not raise any case law that supported the
complainant, would he/she?
And the point at dispute here was the meaning of the original
contract... and what was *understood* between the freelance and the
newspaper.
The moral of the tale: times have changed, but it means that you must
be sure of your contract.

Make no mistke folks, lawyers are not concerned with right, wrong, or
truth, merely with the law. Waht is important to lawyers is what is
legal and what is in the best interest of their client. Ask any lawyer
about this issue and this is the most probable answer you will get.
