  You were arguing that having control over something (as in being able to modify it and resell it) isn’t a requirement for the thing’s ownership?

    “Ownership” can mean a lot of different things

      the things you listed are most certainly not a requirement.

      Then what are? Why wouldn’t the ability to modify and resell be requirements for ownership?

      If “ownership” doesn’t have a unified meaning, then I can interpret “ownership” as the ability to modify and resell the bought item.

        Why wouldn’t the ability to maintain/repair, modify or resell be requirements for ownership?

        Why would they be?

        If “ownership” doesn’t have a unified meaning, then I can interpret “ownership” as the ability to maintain/repair, modify or resell the bought item.

        You can “interpret” whatever meaning you want, that doesn’t make it accurate.
