版權問題谘詢

孩子在YOUTUBE上有些手工教學視頻,最近被紐約的一家出版社看中。寄來一份出書的合同,要家長也附簽。一陣興奮過後,感覺像是“喪權辱國”的不平等條約,最嚴重的是版權的歸屬問題。現把原文摘錄於此,望各位大俠建言,這是不是出版業的常規做法?謝謝!

3) Grant of Rights.
Author hereby grants to the Publisher for the full, legal term of copyright, throughout the world, the sole and exclusive right to produce, publish, license and sell the Work or any part or parts thereof, or any abridgement, or any expansion or adaptation of the Work in all languages in physical book form and in electronic form (including but not limited to the right to make apps or enhanced eBooks) as well as audio rights, dramatization rights,film rights, TV rights, and commercial and merchandizing rights of any kind. Author agrees not to create for anyone or any entity other than the Publisher a work that is substantially similar to the Work or covering essentially the same subject matter, or likely to compete for sales with this Work during the term of this Agreement.
For purposes of this agreement, the “electronic form” of the Work is such forms as are digitized and can be encoded, stored, or retrieved from such media as computer disks, CD-ROM, computer databases, eBook readers, and network servers, and include but are not limited to such works as eBooks, enhanced eBooks, and apps, whether such apps run on the Internet, a computer, a phone, or any other device.
A sale of a work in electronic form is defined hereunder to include any revenue realized from transactions entered into by the Publisher with respect to works in electronic form, including but not limited to the sale, licensing, lending for payment, or other revenue generating activity with respect to such works. In the event that works in electronic form generate revenue as a group, the division of such revenue shall be done in a reasonable manner (such as based on downloads if that information is available or a pro rata division among the titles if details as to specific titles cannot be obtained).
