Why? When you're using social/legal concepts like "ownership" you need to be able to point to some technical or legal rule which recognizes it (ie. a spec or a law), or you have to appeal to convention (ie. typical use in a community). If you can't point to a rule, then the concept has no technical or legal standing. And if you appeal to convention, then you've conceded most of the argument. Or are you making a moral argument?
