This is a /proprietary/ developer explaining why work for hire doesn't work:

My take is that software development is not a linear process, it's an iterative process. Therefore in everything I create there tends to be bits of things that I've created in the past for other clients. Given this situation selling my code to a client isn't really a tenable situation. For me to do that I'd either have to eventually go out of business because I wouldn't have any unique code to sell after a while, or lie to my clients. Neither is attractive.

David Ardia on Immunity and Liability for User Content Under the Communications Decency Act:

1. If you passively host third-party content, you will be fully protected against defamation and defamation-like claims under CDA 230.

2. If you exercise traditional editorial functions over user submitted content, such as deciding whether to publish, remove, or edit material, you will not lose your immunity unless your edits materially alter the meaning of the content.
