There’s a difference between: unrelated to your job, and unrelated to the business as a whole.

In some locations, employers can’t claim copyright on works unrelated to your current role.

In many locations they can. I paid my own lawyers to review a Google NYC job offer and they said, yes, Google can enforce this clause.

(Obviously this is not legal advice, talk to your own layers, etc.)
