 The Ownership Society - Mises Institute   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
"Ownership Society" was already vapid and insufferable halfway through the GOP convention, where it had been pounded flat by pundits, politicians, and media stars even before Bush himself invoked it. It is nonetheless interesting as a piece of political propaganda, and deserves a closer look.
Nor does it establish a principle concerning the justice of ownership, as is clear from the first application cited by Bush administration spokesmen: housing.
This is an Ownership Society that does not threaten the interests of the state, but neither does it have anything to do with liberty.

 2005 Anuual Report: Local TV/Ownership
The pattern of television station ownership in recent years originated in the Telecommunications Act of 1996, a Clinton-era law that removed a number of limits on station ownership, allowing companies to buy more stations in more parts of the country than ever before.
The first was the ownership cap, which Powell proposed raising from 35% of the country's households to 45%.

 ownership
It is therefore particularly important that, even if the new developments are specified as being the property of the original owner, that the state of proof of the software at the moment when the sources are handed over to the subcontractor, can easily be established by an external deposit for the parties concerned.
This is also the case when a subscription contract allows the subscribers to be co-owners of the software programme in cases when the software is not completely developed, installed and paid up by the subscriber, who would have financed at least part of the development.
In matters of ownership conflict on a software programme, the anteriority of a deposit is not necessarily determinant.

 Gun Ownership in India
Curtailing gun ownership, to curb violent crime, through denying licenses or making legal arms and ammunition ridiculously expensive is based on flawed reasoning.
