[ih] Some Questions over IPv4 Ownership

[Ben Clifford]

The law recognises degrees of ownership, rather than absolute ownership. 
(for example: you won a house but have a mortgage on it, so you don't own 
it in the sense that you may without the consent of the mortgage holder 
demolish it, for example; or you are a lord off on a crusade and have 
handed over your manor to your brother to own in trust for you; or you own 
land but now The Powers That Be acquire it without your consent to build a 
freeway over it). Maybe some of this discussion (esp in light of this 
being for a law seminar) could be framed in who gave what rights to who, 
rather than who gave this abstract "ownership" to who.
