Yet steemit.com isn't Steem. Steem is the decentralized network that it present through a front-end.

I did a whole bunch of research and this is actually the truth. Steemit is a subsidiary of the four Corporations that own everything, just like all corporations are. Even the Block Chain.
Nobody owns the blockchain. Steemit is not Steem. The blockchain is owned by the people who either have stake in the network and/or are actually running the network (witnesses). The Block Chain is a concept predating the internet by millennia, ledgers and block chains are the exact same thing, to say someone owns that idea is to seriously mistake what those things mean and why they are adopted.
There is an old saying. He who controls the gold makes the rules. Who owns the gold? Who owns the currency? Who owns the electricity? Why is the U.S fighting over who gets to build a pipeline?
The truth is they can't really control the resources, because they have tied the resources to the currency. That is the mistake that has allowed cryptocurrency. The fighting is a buy some time strategy. Crypto is also a strategy. Time will tell?
It doesn't matter who owns the gold, who owns the electricity or who owns the currency, what matters here is who owns the idea and who controls it, and neither ownership of the tech or control is being secured by gold or anything else you mentioned, the "mistake" that allowed such ideas is the security they come with in the face of counterfeiting and outright stealing or other fraudulent activities, that is why Tally Sticks made such a robust currency and why distributed ledgers will render fraud irrelevant.
Personally I hope you are right. I don't think that people know how deep the fraudulent activities are a part of the system. I know for a fact however that you nor anyone else will get the distributed ledgers inside a court room if they (meaning the agents of fraud) don't' want it in the court room.
Which courtroom, any courtroom? Or the proverbial court room? Why are we discussing that, we were discussing how nobody owns the idea or can control it., weren't we?
