I don't own my digital media but nobody is taking it away from me ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘‰

Definitely not my car. And if I can help it, it's going to stay that way.

I think it depends on the definition of own, if it can be sold to someone else who will then own it. If it doesn't have value like that, then it is just something you have, like pocket lint.
