"We buy works outright."

(The latter two mean the same thing, AFAIK).

Almost. "All rights" means "all rights that can be transferred under applicable legislation".
In many legislations, some rights are inalienable. E.g. the right to prevent misrepresentation of the original work - in other words, you can buy the film rights, but if the author doesn't like what you do with the story, he can veto the film anyway.
