Work Made for Hire

"Work Made for Hire" is a legal concept where the creator of certain types of work, like written content or artwork, doesn't own the copyright. Instead, the employer or the person who commissioned the work automatically owns it, as if they created it themselves. This typically applies in employment or specific contractual situations, meaning the company or client gets the rights to use, reproduce, and limit the work, rather than the individual creator. It's important for clarifying ownership rights from the outset of a project.
