This is what I always look for in an NDA or I don't sign one. People generally take some generic NDA contract they found online that is so vague you're probably in violation the minute you sign it. I'm guessing this is why others say it's hard to enforce, so why sign one?
Bottom line: unless an entity has specific IP and other trade secrets they want to protect and it is spelled out in the agreement then I'm not signing it, and if it's required I'm not interested. It's probably a good filter IMO.
