Since the United States has disavowed all knowledge of the thing called 'property rights', by both the voters and the politicians, you really don't own anything anymore; we all rent everything we "buy."
Buy a car? Not unless you get licensed by the State to drive it. Buy a house? What is it that you pay each and every year in order to live in that house? Property taxes. Buy a DVD? You're only borrowing it until someone says so.
At the base of freedom is the right to own property fully, or create new property using your hands no matter who created it before you in a certain way.
