I just pulled this from AIGA...if you are a member go there and do some research.
"under copyright law, an independant contractor (freelancer) is able to control how he transfers ownership, if at all, of his work."
The article goes onto talk about how if a client demands that a freelancer not show work in their portfolio, the freelancer should demand to be compensated: "I would always urge a designer to retain an absolute right to show work in his portfolio or in advertisements for his services. If a client wants to remain anonymous, let him pay for that privilege. Your portfolio is the only proof of your ability."
--copied from Intellectual Property: What does "Work for Hire" mean for designers?
