Factual error: When Amy is fired from S'Nuff magazine she takes her story on Aaron Connors to Vanity Fair, who run with it. That is not going to happen. Amy wrote the article while a paid employee of S'Nuff magazine and that means the copyright in the article (and, very relevant to this issue, the photographs of Aaron they paid to have taken), resides with them, not with her. It isn't hers to sell. No magazine editor of any standing is going to buy an unsolicited article without checking its provenance backwards and forwards, and that would mean checking with Amy's previous employers - after all, what would happen if they changed their minds and ran the story themselves?
Suggested correction: You still own the right to the story you wrote, regardless of who buys it. That's not how it works.
What absolute nonsense. Do some research before posting on this site. Amy wrote the article "Work Made for Hire" as part of her employment contract with S'Nuff magazine. Under Section 101 of the US Copyright Act, the magazine owns the article and the photographs they bought and paid for. Amy does not own any part of the article or the photographs, and she cannot sell or trade in them.
