Post #2B: When you buy a product, who "owns" the product? Is it the company who created the product or is it the purchaser? The reason this is asked is that for most products, the purchaser owns it. However, for electronic devices, it is usually difficult to tell. For example, a DVD may not be copied, even though you bought the disc itself. Or, if you buy a video game console, you are prohibited from hacking or modding it by law.

Well it depends because let’s say it’s like a notebook technically you bought it so it is yours. But when it comes to like an I-Pod you are buying the object but technically it still belongs to the Apple Company. Even sometimes life is this way like when we are in a relationship we say we own that person but in reality we are never property of anyone and no one can own us. All the materialist things we claim to be ours will never be ours because the person who invented it is the rightful owner of the object. so we are just buying original copies of what the other person invented. Another reason why the object is not ours because once we own it we are not allowed to modify it or change it. We are never allowed to say we are the owners of nothing unless we invented it or created it. The owners of big companies are just making money off of us and we don’t realize that we don’t know what we buy so it’s a never ending game.  We buy something and claim to say it is ours while the owner is making billions and billions off of us.
