If Walmart sold you a lawnmower, but you had to leave the lawnmower in their store, would you consider it your property just because they let you start it up and hear it rumble?

If you wouldn't do that for Walmart, why would you do it for Sony?

People are buying vehicles at great cost that can be remotely disabled. If the analogy were slightly less tortured, I'm sure the answer would be yes.

That's a truly weird analogy.
