As an IT professional working "At Will" it is my understanding that
when producing any form of protectable intelectual property for an employer,
unless the contracts explicitly state other wise any IP belongs to the employer
under the principle of "work for hire".
That is she didn't have to sign anything saying it was work for hire but rather
for her to have any claim at all, she has to produce a contract that explicitly
says it wasn't work for hire.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Claiming copyright over performing a part in a script, and then crying
infringement, is so far out of line with the intent behind copyright as to be
laughable. Hopefully, the court will shut that down quickly.
Else, every cover band would start claiming copyright for every instrument in
the band on songs they had no part in writing whatsoever.
