This is a weird one. If I buy a book, rare or not, do I not own it?
If you buy a house, it is illegal to set it on fire. It is also illegal to pump infinite molten lead into the soil under your house. It is also illegal to spray aerosolized asbestos out of the chimney of your house 24/7.
You still own the house.
If I buy a book, it is not illegal to destroy it. Your analogy doesn’t work. You are talking about acts that could affect the health and well being of others.
