You are wrong. If you buy a physical copy of a game, you cannot legally make further copies of that game. You can only sell the single copy you own, which is the licensed copy

    You're confusing copyright law with property law. Sure, you can't make and sell copies (fun fact: you can make copies for certain other purposes, though), but that's not a limitation on what you can do with your own copy, which is your property.

    Ownership of the right to copy and ownership of the copy itself are entirely different things.

    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.
