I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.

Note: The part that will hurt the author is the fact that nearly any judge will assume that the author READ and understood exactly what he was signing.

Oh and does the author have to money to fight the publisher in court?
As the Guide states up front, "it depends". It is up to the courts to determine on a case-by-case basis what is unfair or deceptive. There are no universal, absolute answers to these questions.
