In the case of data it should be more aptly described as "possession" rather than "ownership"

These are different things, and this is precisely the point here. You do have the possession of the data when you stream a movie, but you do not have the ownership. When someone makes a picture of you, they do posses it, but they do not necessarily own it, that would be you.

I also don't agree with your parent, because ownership is precisely the correct term here.
