Surely if they commissioned the work, and paid for it they own the
copyright?

If not could not they have this as part of the contract?

Is this a "peculiarity" of copyright in the USA?

If I work as an employee for a company then I have always worked under a
contract of employment that specifically states that the company owns the
copyright of any such work I do.
