I'm not confusing copyright law and property law, but you are deliberately conflating them so you can say things like "That's what the copyright cartel claims, but it's a goddamn lie." in response to someone saying that owning a copy of something does not give you the rights to that thing.
The copyright cartel claims you don't own your copy. That's a lie: you do own your copy. Owning a copy of something does, in fact, give you all the rights to that copy, so claiming it doesn't is wrong.
Nobody here is debating if you own the physical copy or not. You're debating the difference between owning a copy and having the rights to it.
