    Ownership over something doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want with it legally. You wouldn’t argue you don’t “actually own” a knife because you’re not allowed to stab people with it.

      Well, I would say that this is a very controversial area of what exactly are you not allowed to do with things you really own. I consider everything that doesn’t harm other people to be allowed, others may view it differently. In some places you’re not allowed to stab yourself with a knife you own (or rent, or stole, for that matter), that just means that besides owning there are many things to comply to, but all of them contradict the “do what you want”
