Friendo, I don't know where you're from, but I've never heard of a place where "I'm going to buy a Big Mac" means "I'm going to purchase the rights to the Big Mac". You misinterpreted them, possibly on purpose.
How do you read:
Friendo? It's the wrong way. Because that perspective is misconstruing Ownership (ahem rights) and ownership.
You're in the wrong conversation. Possibly on purpose.
"No u" is a fun argument because it's usually what people resort to when they've realized they're wrong but don't want to admit it.
Give me one example, ever, where the phrase "to buy" in comman usage means to purchase the rights (as in copyright etc) to something. If I say I'm buying a Dodge Charger, I'm not contacting the lawyers of Dodge to try to buy the intellectual property associated with the Charger brand. I'm buying a car. I could give infinity examples here, and it's unnecessary because it's so damn obvious.
If I purchase a Big Mac, it is mine to do with as I please, forever (or for as long as it lasts). I can put a funny hat on it. I can throw it at a tree. I can feed it to my pig. I can attach it to a drone and launch it into the ocean. It is my Big Mac. I have not purchased the rights to the term "Big Mac", or the recipe, or the patent on the secret sauce. I have purchased one physical Big Mac.
Duh.
Just take the L dude, either English is your second language or you had a massive brain fart and you interpreted someone else's words in a ridiculous fashion.
Jesus Christ, read back like I said or finish high school then reply. The dip shit I replied to said you own a CD and you can do what you want and that isn't true for all the reasons YOU YOURELF have already articulated
Buy a big mac and shove it in the muffler of a Dodge charger or up your own ass IDC if you own it or not your are literally making anyone reading this thread dumber.
So here, of you speak fluent "comman" go ahead and quote me the top level comment and tell me in good faith that you think they mean "big mac in a hat" CD usage and not "I can make this the soundtrack to my direct to DVD porno" usage and I will stop replying.
Otherwise I will happily reply "dumbass" your comments every day until I fucking die or you shut up. Test me.
Already did that, but knock yourself out
Dumbass
