Copyright isn't really ownership and only applies to creative works, software and works that exceed the threshold of originality. It doesn't apply to metadata, location information, secrets and facts about people.

Ownership as a concept doesn't really apply so well to digital things because they are infinitely copy-able. I can have something digital, and you can have it too.

There's certainly a need for better privacy laws which applies to PII but that doesn't really need to be conflated with copyright and ownership.
