TITLE 17 > CHAPTER 1 > ยง 101:
Copies are material objects, other than phonorecords, in which a work is
fixed by any method now known or later developed, and from which the work
can be perceived, reproduced, or otherwise communicated, either directly or
with the aid of a machine or device. The term copies includes the material
object, other than a phonorecord, in which the work is first fixed.

The only sense in which one may "own content" is as shorthand for "own the
copyright". And one can certainly own copies of a work without owning the
copyright in it.
If I create a copy of a work in which you own the copyright out of
materials I own I may infringe your copyright in doing so but I still own
the copy.
