Who Owns What: A Plain-Language Primer for Creators

Ownership does not have to be mysterious, though it is worth taking seriously.

You generally own what you create

As a creator, you generally own your original work. Hiring a production partner to prepare or produce it does not transfer ownership unless a written agreement says so.

Put it in writing

When more than one person contributes, a clear written agreement about who owns what prevents disputes later. Clarity up front is kindness to your future self.
