IANAL either, but I have a good friend who is and I have heard him talk about 
contracts with people several times and I have frequently heard him say, "You 
can't sign away your rights, that contract is illegal," referring to some 
contract or another that some person has signed and later realized it was a 
mistake.

So apparently, just because one signs a contract, doesn't make it legally 
binding, necessarily. Then again, IANAL.
