I am a lawyer. Different jurisdictions have different rules, and often courts do not allow rights to damages to be contracted away. Also, under common law tradition, a written document is typically strictly construed against the drafter of the document. So, in other words, if it's a close call, the party who created the document loses. Of course I'm speaking in generalities.I have no knowledge of this specific case, and I'm a U.S. lawyer. So, take what I say with giant spoonfuls of salt.

I know many people who were transformed (for the better) by him. I'd caution against throwing out the good he's done because of some of the bad.
People aren't perfect, including our heroes. If you feel a need to polarize yourself for or against someone for merely being fallible, you'll quickly wind up alone like most people on this Earth. Be forgiving, don't forget, and act accordingly.
That said, I've also found JBP less enjoyable to listen to since he became famous. It could be because he's become repetitive or because some of it's gone to his head. I don't know what exactly, but I don't dismiss everything he says or stands for as a result.
There are far worse people to look up to.
