In the case of work for hire, if copyright is involved, it is usually

You are correct, but the difference between work for which you are hired,
and an independent contractor is who owns the process. That and the way
taxes
are paid are the two differences. Most employees sign an agreement that
anything they develop or discover while employed belongs to the employer.
As an independent contractor, it is the exact opposite. That often is why
some people insist on being an employee and some want to be an independent
contractor.
Does anyone care about this stuff?
Isn't the law a kick?

Actually, as an independent contractor, I knew, lol, when I asked the
question yesterday:)))) Evan clarified it so beautifully though (I was hoping
he
would and he did!). And in the meantime, it was entertaining to read all of
the opinions from those who thought they "knew" and suggestions that we
actually "google" to see "what is done". <VBG>
Geeze, does that mean when I want an opinion on something of importance, all
I need go is "google"? NOT! That's not how I run my business of my
personal matters:)
NOW, we have Evan's learned legal opinion clearly presented to us; it's
clear the items mentioned in the infamous memo should NOT be used, so it will
be
interesting to see what actions the new editor and board takes to protect the
Review and the PC.
Also of interest, had the parties involved defined what happened to the work
product developed during the course of their relationship upon the
termination of their relationship , we wouldn't need this conversation. Guess
a
lawyer is the best place to go for legal advice after all:)
