What you say isnt true, no matter what your status. There are no laws giving someone's work to someone else. Universities do not OWN students work. There is no special status given to Professors which unvalidates the work of others or forfeits ownership. Infact, research funded by universities and/or specific departments within the structure own the research and rights to such research done by Professors who perform research under grants given to those Universities. Researchers under such conditions have no ownership to the results. The research is the sole property of the University. Research (by anyone) that is not funded in whole or part by an outside party is the sole property of the people conducting such research or written works. The laws in any case do not forfeit written work or research from one party to another on the basis or wealth or stature.
