US Copyright law states it exactly and plainly:
<http://www.copyright.gov/title17/circ92.pdf> Page 201
§ 201 · Ownership of copyright
...
(c) Contributions to Collective Works.—
... In the absence of an express transfer of the copyright or of any
rights under it, the owner of copyright in the collective work is
presumed to have acquired only the privilege of reproducing and
distributing the contribution as part of that particular collective
work, any revision of that collective work, and any later collective
work in the same series.
This tells you that the copyright owner of a collective work must acquire
the privilege of reproducing and distributing the components as part of
that work, and that such privilege is separate from other grants for those
components, past or future.
