Hardly. Owning a car and a drivers license is different than owning a computer an an OS license. If you can't under stand that -

You don't drive a 2000 pound computer down the highway, at the risk of other peoples lives, do you?

You don't have to prove, at some point, that you are morally responsible, that you won't drive your computer when your drunk, or that you won't modify it beyond what DOT specifies.

If you crash your computer, you're not bringing insurance rates up higher, you don't damage physical property (usually! overclockers beware:).

Are there laws governing the safe operation of a computer? The legal owning of a computer?
