why do actors think they own their characters

I'll have to take the side of Max Baer Jr on this one. He was not well compensated when they were shooting these episodes, they wrecked any future career for him as a result of his being typecast, and I would say an person ought to pretty much own their own image.

Intellectual property laws seem to me to be subject to a lot of abuse nowadays.
