What do you think owning is? If I pull your strings, you're my puppet. Ownership is control.
not necessarily. Your landlord is the owner of your flat, but he ceedes all rights to control over it to you, within the limits of the contract and can only take back co trol if he has evidence of you violating the contract.
Ironically your metaphor works really well as an example of how that's not true - just because you're allowed to pull the strings, doesn't mean you're the owner of the puppet
You know, that's kinda fair. That applies pretty well for media licensing in particular.
