As it stands in the various international copyright treaties, assigning
copyright to another person or entity means assigning ownership. Owning
a copy is provided through a licence, e.g. owning Iron Man on DVD.

To me this is feels internally contradictory.... I don't think practical
purposes can be taken to provide symbolic equivalency.... but, the whole
issue I'm trying to get across is with reducing copyright to its
practical purpose (or a subset thereof). If we are reducing all things
to their practical purposes, then yes, of course owning a thing and
having all the same rights to that thing can be called equivalent. But
to reframe my earlier point, the practical purposes of a thing do not
entail the thing.
