... not so unique I think. Also for us (in the company) there is a fixed staff of freelancers who are equipped with pc and software from us and each with an agreed minimum budget per year. These people create - we call it "corrections" - for us. So our arrangement with these people is similar to what you describe. And of course it is the raw data (= corrections) that we need to apply our designs on...
Here of course the files belongs to us although we play the role of the customer here ... -
Sorry ntxdave and HornOxx, didn't understand fully. However the idea of giving back your head sounded funny enough and makes a point for Baz scenario.

It would actually depend on your copyright laws, where you do business and if you are an employee or contractor.
First you must look at the copyright laws in the country you are doing business. Then determine your employment status based on those laws.

Baz,
Something else to be mindful of is how to protect yourself from unauthorized changes to your models or your work.
