Times of the world would flow in halcyon joy if things were that simple. And we wouldn't need lawyers. How do you "possess" something that exists in infinite copies? How do you "possess" an idea? A sound? A vision? Possessing the right to a book is not the same as possessing a sack of potatos. That's why we have all those different words in our language, Kenny - to denote different things, different ideas and different concepts. Lumping it all together might have served when the loo was on the other end of the cave. We have evolved a bit since then.
