What? Try that again, I doubt you really mean that a corporation can't
hold a copyright outside the USA, since I have recent documentation
which certainly has corporate copyrights, coming from both the UK and
Germany. If you mean they want to take credit for your work, agreed,
they certainly have in some cases! If you are lucky they will recognize
you as a contributor somewhere down in the non-essential documentation.
But if it really illegal, please clarify a bit for those of us
unfamiliar with EU laws.
