One of the realities in the United States is that laws change from state to state. What is true in one state may not be true in another. This helps the attorneys and does not help the understand of the issues at a national level. :)

Here in the United States, if the developer is an employee of the company, the company owns the copyright. If it is a work for hire, such as a consultant, then the consultant owns the copyright.
