Many companies do not protect their intellectual property when dealing with freelancers who do work for them. With copyright, the starting point is that if an employee does work for the company then the company will be the owner of the work product. But, if the work is done by someone who is not an employee (eg a freelancer) then the law will assume that the freelancer is the owner (the fact that the work was produced for the company who commissioned it does not of itself alter that starting point)
