Copyright laws in the UK
In the UK our copyright laws give the photographer full ownership. I gave Reggy links to the official information by email.
The only time the photographer does not own the copyright is when he is commissioned to do the shoot for a 3rd party. They then own the copyright. The other exception is when the photographer is an employee of the company he is doing the shoot for. The company then own the copyright.
In the UK and now the EU a model release isn't worth the paper it's printed on. A photographer can publish the result of any shoot where ever and when ever he likes. If he wants to sell them to a 3rd party in the States, then he needs to have all the details per your 2257.
I hope that clarifies the difference between UK/EU and US laws regarding copyright and publication.
