The exemption which allows employers to exempt computer professionals earning over 27.63 per hour from overtime payment was added to the Fair Labor Standards Act in 1996. If memory serves, that puts it right square in the Clinton Administration.
It's a good idea to check out the facts before you throw rocks.:-)
The site may or may not belong to him. In some cases, the courts have held that volunteers are considered employees. One such case (Town of Clarkston v. Reeder S.D.N.Y. 1983), determined that a volunteer worker may be considered an employee for purposes of copyright laws. A later US Supreme Court Decision (1989 CCNV v. Reid) found that the lower court did not examine all of the revant factors in determining whether Reeder was an employee but there was no specific criticism of the courts conclusion that a volunteer could be considered an employee. Interesting.
