Understanding the legal meaning of the word 'employee' is very
important.
If you hire a programmer as an 'independent contractor' he is not
considered an 'employee' under Title 17 in which case he would hold the
copyright. In determining if he is an employee, a court would be less
interested in what you call him and more interested in how he acts.
For example if you call him an employee but he works at home, with
little supervision, and receives no employee benefits outside of pay,
then he may really be an independent contractor for the purposes of
Title 17.
Thanks for the clarification!
Mike
