It's a good thing you aren't a lawyer.
Paragraph 20 of the complaint quotes directly from Paragraph 20 of the contract. According to HC, the contract
explicitly extends HC's rights to "computer, computer-stored, mechanical or other electronic means now known or hereafter invented."
If in fact the contract referenced those rights as HC suggests, this is very different than other contracts which did not reference electronic or digital media at all -- as was more common until the 90s.
And yet again, there is absolutely no way to know what the contract actually says without seeing the whole thing. You can read it however you want, but unless you have actually read it, you're just speculating.
