        You were arguing that having control over something (as in “being able to maintain/repair, modify or even resell” it) isn’t a requirement for the thing’s ownership?

        Then what does “ownership” entail? Being allowed to use the thing but not modify or repair it? I’d argue that this isn’t what “ownership” means.

            the things you listed are most certainly not a requirement.

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

            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.

              Then what are?

              “Ownership” can mean a lot of different things

              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.
