Of course - it's 2023, we don't actually own anything

even if you do pay, it’s like youre just asking for punishment.

Honestly, ownership is an illusion anyway.

Do I own my house? Nope, the bank owns it.

That's not an illusion, that just means the bank owns it. I'm not sure what your point is here.

If the government uses eminent domain to acquire your house/property to repurpose to build a road, that is fairly close to the company saying your house is being removed from our library. Not exact, but I can see what they may have meant. (Being sent gift cards instead of money is the big difference to me)

I should be more specific: possession is the more appropriate term, and it's transitory in nature; you aren't going to be in possession of your things forever.
