The answer to 2 is none of the above. The court will decide in favor of Computerama because Bob signed a contract. Contracts, if legal, supercede basic Copyright Law. If the contract did not spell out that Computerama was to hold copyrights for Bobs original work, then Copyright law requires that the original author of the work (Bob in this case) has the copyright until such time as he may grant or transfer it to another party, even though he might have been employed at the time. Most everybody has a boss, but transfer of copyright is not automatic.
