That's actually the law in Germany. Here it's not called copyright but originator's right. The big caveat being that things you create while under contract are licensed to companies. But the originator's rights can not be transferred or erased.
Of course international contracts severely muddy the waters here.
That's how it should be, and that's awesome that Germany does that!
