Alrighty..I've seen this posted a number of times now. You guys do realize there is a huge difference between being an employee of a company and being contracted by one..right? That just because they compensate you in some form for your work doesn't make you their employee.
Am I the only one employed who understands this?
This. Legally, an employee and a contractor are two very distinct types of relationships. Neither is a subset of another, and should not be mistaken for such.
On that note, Luke's relationship with BFL appears to be closer to the latter.
