Just for arguments sake, What about the disks? If you buy software,
you own the Disks, manual, box, ect. If they're my disks I assume that
I can do with them what I want. If I want to erase them I assume that
I can. If the disks are my property it seems that I can do with them
what I want.
Just a thought,
