You could, and then you either are still able to deliver an amount of work that makes them happy, in which case, why do they care - or you can't deliver an acceptable amount of work and they can fire you for performance. No need to own 100% of anyone's time.

The third option is that you do something really cool that contractually they own. Be very careful with side projects under these types of contracts.
