I'm No Lawyer

Sometimes I worry about breaking some agency nondisclosure clause on this blog. My take on it: If there's nothing to disclose, I won't disclose it. Sure, it's competitive out there. But when we focus on doing good work, the facts strengthen the play of the game, right? 

I often post about agency work. I believe in a right to produce expression, especially when inspiration for such expression comes from experience. It's as if the nondisclosure clause copyrights against reproduction of my experience (intangible) through means of this blog (tangible). You can't copyright the intangible, and facts are unprotected. They can't possibly bar me from expression of my experiences, can they?

This post is making me feel naive. Please, someone tell me, why the nondisclosure forms to begin with? What do these companies have to be so paranoid about? Latent Print makes for good press.

Can any John Nash types offer sense of this?
