Employees yes, contractors _no_ absent a specific written agreement
transferring ownership. Citation: Community for Creative Non-Violence
v. Reid, 490 US 730 (1989).

My wife won (representing herself pro-se) a lawsuit brought against her
in the 1990s by a New Hampshire firm that refused to pay her for
contract programming work but attempted to compel her to turn over the
source code she wrote anyway claiming it was a 'work for hire'. All she
had to do was cite CCNV v. Reid: The judge was impressed, and he
dismissed the case.

Plaintiff had used this ploy to cheat numerous prior contract programmers;
my wife was the first to ever get paid.

(Oh, I hope someone will add nisus@??? to the list at
http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/MikeeUSA . Oh, and Mikee, falsely
claiming to be an attorney from behind a series of fake identities is
rather less than impressive.)
