I should have something like "accepting this HIT gives me permission to use this story any way I'd like, here or in any galaxy, for ever into eternity." Very true, Ethan – thanks for the comment.

Perhaps you mean that as an ethical question, but if it's a legal question, the answer (at least the answer in the U.S.) is you do not own them unless you specify in your contracts that the stories & recordings were done as a works for hire. If the stories and recordings were not a works for hire, you have the right to use them in whatever way the contract specified, but the copyrights remain with the creators. (Note, I'm not a lawyer, so take my legal advice with a grain of salt). Best of luck to you with the project!
