>The contractor bit is why many contracts explicitly deal with the issue of ownership of intellectual property.

Some contracts I've had as a contractor have Intellectual Property clauses in them - that's why I always put things on my website and get an employee to download them.

I've actually refused to sign a contract as a prospective employee once based on copyright issues.
