It depends on the work & how/why it was created.
The owner of a copyright may be one (or more) of several people/entities
1) The creator
2) In the case of work-for-hire the copyright may belong to the company/individual it was created for.
3) The assignee. Copyright like any property can be sold or given away.
4) The public. After a certain period of time or by designation a work will become "Public Domain" meaning that it can be used without restriction.
