A major part of the digital/physical debate that people forget

Yes, that is true. Like I said though, you own the disc. The license is connected to that, but in no ways do you actually own the game. It is easier to lend/trade physical games, but digital games have their own advantage, by being accessible all at once on a console and being tied to an account and thus unbreakable by physical means.

In terms of ownership though (the topic of this thread), no one owns any of the games they buy. It is liscenced, period. One format has some advantages of trading/lending while the other does in convinence, but that is a different story. 

Yes but that is what people don't like. They own the licence and physical disc it is attached to. They can sell it, give it to people, whatever they want. If they want to take the disc and do a ritual burning of it, they can. Digital? Nope, it's on your $400 console, at the same cost at the moment as well. To me, a physical disc is far more convenient than a digital copy.

That's a matter of convinence then, not a matter of ownership. This topic is soley about the legal ownership of the game itself, not the convinence of sharing/selling games. Sharing/selling the disc =/= ownership of the game, which is the point I was trying to make.
