| | Ownership - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Ownership is the state or fact of exclusive possession or control of property, which may be an object, land/real estate, intellectual property or some other kind of property. | | | Ownership is the basis for many other concepts that form the foundations of ancient and modern societies such as money, trade, debt, bankruptcy, the criminality of theft and private vs. public property. | | | Chattel slavery is a type of slavery defined as the absolute legal ownership of a person or persons, including the legal right to buy and sell them. |

| | Property (ownership right) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Property is often conceptualized as the rights of 'ownership' as defined in law. | | | Modern property rights conceive of ownership and possession as belonging to legal individuals, even if the legal individual is not a real person. | | | For example if two people own a single piece of land as joint tenants, then depending on the law in the jurisdiction, each may have limited recourse for the actions of the other. |

| | Once you are the legal owner of a vacation ownership week, you may sell it at any time. | | | Two basic types of timeshare units are sold: fee simple where the buyer gets title to a fraction of the unit; and right-to-use where the purchaser is entitled to use the unit for a specified period of time, but does not have an ownership interest. | | | The purchaser reserves the right to use one or more resort accommodations for a specified number of years, ranging generally from 10 to 50 years, after which all use rights return to the developer. |

| | FCC's Review of Broadcast Ownership Rules |
| | In 2002, a federal Court of Appeals remanded the local TV ownership rule to the FCC for further consideration. | | | The newspaper/broadcast cross-ownership rule prohibits common ownership of a full-service broadcast station and a daily newspaper when the broadcast station’s service contour encompasses the newspaper’s city of publication. | | | In 2002, a federal Court of Appeals reversed the FCC’s decision in 2000 to retain a national television ownership limit, and sent the rule back to the FCC for further consideration. |

| | Media Ownership Regulation in Australia |
| | The major effect of the laws is to prevent the common ownership of newspapers, television and radio broadcasting licences that serve the same region. | | | In addition, cross-media restrictions were to be imposed which were designed to prevent a person from controlling both a television licence and a newspaper published 4 times per week and having more than 50 per cent of its circulation in the same area served by the television licence. | | | Similarly, the owner of a television licence was restricted to owning 15 per cent of a radio licence serving substantially the same market, while a newspaper proprietor could own up to 15 per cent of a radio licence. |

| | Gun Ownership in India |
| | Since all criminals are instinctively driven by self-preservation allowing legal ownership of firearms by law abiding citizens would act as a serious deterrent. | | | Interestingly the states with more restrictions on gun ownerships have a higher crime rate than those that are less restrictive. | | | Though somewhat better than the British act, this legislation gave vast arbitrary powers to the "Licensing Authorities", in effect ensuring that it is often difficult and sometimes impossible for an ordinary law abiding Indian citizen to procure an arms license. |

| | The FCC also considers several criteria in order to identify the applicant for a television station license that is most likely to broadcast in the public's interest. | | | If there is more than one applicant for a television station license, the FCC will normally favor a local applicant who promises to take an active role in managing the day-to-day operations of the station, assuming the applicants' other qualifications are fairly equal. | | | Recent actions by the United States Congress, primarily the passage of the Telecommunication Act of 1996 have altered many of the rules and requirements of ownership, enabling much more cross-media ownership and delivery systems. |
