Hi everyone,
I’ve noticed that many media production contracts grant the client full copyright ownership. In my experience it doesn’t have to be this way. Does anyone have any experience in getting a license back clause inserted into their contracts?
Thanks!
Do all contracts need to grant full copyright ownership to the client?

I think my question might be a bit misleading. I wouldn't expect anyone to assume earning royalties on DVD's sold or royalties related to the final project. Rather, I'm specifically curious about the content that doesn't make it into the final project and ends up on the cutting room floor never to be seen again. Often this footage is good, usable content that could be used to license later on by the content creator, but producers of said content aren't granted any sort of copyright ownership of this content.
