© is territorial so you can actually claim © ownership based on EU law if your work is published there. Work for hire doesn't exist in the EU (except for software - and Holland) See Berne Convention article 5(2). Protection is based on where protection is sought. www.law.cornell.edu/treaties/ber...

What that means is even if a contractor had a "work for hire" agreement in the US. They can still potentially claim "ownership" under let's say, German Law if the work is published there because Germany doesn't recognize US law. www.lexology.com/library/deta...
