My point is companies would love if you didn’t own your own computer and I wouldn’t be surprised if they got some legislation through to let them license it that way.

How is accurately framing their tyrannical feudalistic scheming a poor choice of words on my part?

Then I guess they need to start providing the hardware for free, because if I paid for it…it’s MINE and I can do what I want with it.

Tell that to console manufacturers. Or Apple for that matter.

Your ISP already leases your modem.

Not when you use your own modem

I’m not going to rent Comcast’s modem/access point combo. It sucks.

Then clearly you are leasing it, not owning it. If your ISP allows it, as many do, you could use your own modem, and then it is indeed yours.
