If you make a tour for company X and then use the same tour for company Y you are guilty of copyright infringment even though you made both tours.

Thats not correct. Depending on local laws I guess though. Work you do as a salaried employee is generally the property of the company, but the companys usually have to have specific clauses in their employment contracts specifying this, so that ex employees can't use code and whatnot they developed there for new employers, I remember this specifically as I along with everyone else at my company was made to sign a new contract with new provisions in the late 90's which stated that the work was owned by the company, it's not by default, otherwise we wouldn't have had to sign new contracts with those specific clauses. However Australia might be different to the US.
