That's not true. If something will be taken away from you unless you give someone else money annually, you don't own it.
Would you say you own all the movies on netflix? Same thing.
Ownership is unconditional. And there are very few things you can truly own. A house in America is not one of them.
If you don't agree with my definition, I'd love to hear yours.
This.

Legality is the weakest form of ownership. I could legally own 1/10,000th of apple in my brokerage account but what does that mean in reality? Jack shit.
Well just the definition ownership. “The state or fact of being an owner”
Doesnt even have to be in a legal way. We all know if we are the rightful owner of something.
That definition is self referential. "Ownership means your an owner".
We don't have to agree. But there are fundamentals which are important. It's not just a word.
What if someone defined freedom as " the state or act of being free" lol. Not very useful.
Good point. To be honest I just copied the first definition I saw. I guess you can look up any definition on Ownership in a dictionary. Because thats all Im referring to. Paying taxes doesnt change the fact im the owner lol.
You own the property and house. You never owned your netflix movies. Different.
Why don't I own the Netflix movies? I can watch them whenever I want, with whoever I want.
What you can do with it has nothing to do with if you own them or not.
So what would it mean to own them? I'm open to changing my mind here, but I still don't understand what your definition is.
Okay so only Netflix can own them. And actually they are just leasing those movies from other production companies. Netflix made content is owned by them and they let you pay for a license to view those movies. They are never given to you. Same with Spotify. They give you a license to listen to those songs.
