Neither is a computer programmer. The comparison is completely apt, as it's a work-for-hire situation when absent the contract, the creator of the arrangement/computer program would have rights to it (though there is a difference in that the computer programmer is creating something original, rather than arranging someone else's copyrighted work). When I'm programming, work-for-hire contracts pay me much more, because it means I have to program differently (I can't use my usual library of tools that I've created over the years, because I don't want to give up my rights to them). -- David W.
