Depends. In the US, you can, in Germany, you can't.
I guess you meant the "urheberrecht" in Germany - it is conceptionally different from the US copyright. The one who creates a work owns the "urheberrecht" and he or she can grant the right to make use of the work to somebody else. That's it roughly.
Yeah. And if a person in Germany creates a work, s/he will own the urheberrecht and the copyright. Even if s/he seels the copyright, s/he will still own the urheberrecht. As far as I know, this situation doesn't exist in the USA, and I think some of the confusion about this topic is related to that non-universal distinction.
