That is a consequence of the "works made for hire" doctrine in copyright law.

About Intellectual Property

Intellectual property relates to laws and concepts that affect the right to own and profit from artistic, scientific and technological creation. Copyright, trademarks and patents are all covered under the concept of intellectual property. Plagiarism is the act of utilizing or claiming creative content as one's own and, thus, also related to intellectual property.
