: If I am paying someone for art work and I want them to hand over all copyrights to me for some work they will be doing for me. In other words I want to own the work outright. What type of agreement would they have to sign and is there a boiler plate agreement I can get.

Stacy:

It depends on whether the art work is done in the normal course of employment or not. There's something in copyright law called the work for hire doctrine. Boiler plate agreements are rarely adequate for specific situations. For info on the work for hire doctrine, check out the US Copyright Office Website - it's a great resource, or check out the links page at digital-trademarks.com. There are some good copyright links there as well.
