All your belongings have to obey the legal requirements set by others.

E.g. building code; electronic interference limits; road safety performance; emission limits; food safety standards...

Yet they can still be yours.

I am not convinced that safety regulations enacted by elected bodies are the same as proprietary software offering its manufacturer against the user's wishes.

They are not the same at all, so your statement is incorrect.

I don't see your argument here. Is your objection solely that I was insufficiently restrictive in my statement?

addendum: You're saying your analogy is fallacious, therefore I'm incorrect. Which I find rather confusing.
