For the argument's sake, your ability to do things to your own house is restricted by zoning, by HOA and god forbid you from buying something of historical significance in Europe -- then you can't change anything inside or outside and you are responsible for it.
- LMYahooTFY 4y agoTrue, and those issues are subjected to the same philosophical debates. Historical buildings are often categorically different, but HOAs (for a product manufactured and sold to you, as well as the land itself) are lambasted for the same reasons.
- PeterisP 4y agoI think it's important to make a distinction between the restrictions imposed by law and restrictions imposed by the seller. For pretty much every thing there are restrictions on what you can do with it - if I buy a phone, I'm prohibited from smashing it into my neighbour's face, and grinding it up and baking into the cookies I sell would be a violation of health&safety rules, but that's still full ownership. Now, if the seller wants to impose extra restrictions above and beyond what the general society does, that's a different issue.
