    Honest question: how does this work for corporations? Does that mean a particular employee of a corporation holds the copyright, or can the corporation itself (e.g. Disney) as a legal “person” hold a copyright?

      Nobody can hold the copyright unless it’s deemed to be created by a human. Disney owns the copyright because under US law, corporations are also people, and their employees create the work for Disney.
