Conservatives might decry this as overreach, but the non-competes I've come across are as ludicrous as the ones cited in the Prudential case which brought this to the FTC.  There, a security guard who was paid close to minimum wage couldn't work for any other security company within a 100 mile radius.For me, it was a non-solicit that covered anybody who had ever even expressed interest in the firm I worked at, which included a visit to their website (if they could match e-mail addresses).  And it included ANYONE in the family - including extended family - of a website visitor.So if you were shopping for services and visited this company's website, and I later solicited business from you, I was exposed.  Ban these things.
