This is a good point, but I think you could still make the case that you own it. Is the yearly registration fee analagous to a subscription, or to property taxes?

I don't have the answer here; curious to find out what everyone thinks.

It’s not a matter of what people think it’s a matter of law. When you register a domain name with NetworkSolutions, you do not own that domain name.
