culture of ownership

The general feel in todays society that everything is somehow copyrighted or property of someone else to the point where it hinders creativity and makes it much more difficult to innovate. It is also the belief that just because you created/thought of something that you should have complete and total control over every aspect of that thing, object or idea.

Apple not allowing iPhone unlocking - this is a culture of ownership.

Server Ownership

When a fat fucking oaf decides to punish people for nothing simply because he can.

I'm handing over server ownership to that fat oaf over there so he can ban everyone.

Fair Weather Ownership

When credit is claimed when things go well, but blame is assigned elsewhere when things don't.

One of my team members believes in Fair Weather Ownership. People were happy when he made a big song and dance about the dashboard he just built. When somebody pointed out a minor glitch his response was "it's not my code. it's Firefox that's making it error like that".
