What is the difference between shareholder and shareowner?
I presume the difference between a shareholder and shareowner is that shareholders are fiduciaries that hold shares for safekeeping until the shares are properly transferred to shareowners who outright own shares in equitable title; thus, being the ultimate customer and beneficial owners. Shareholders are custodians that have a minority interest in the shares, as opposed to a majority or material interest.

Minority shareholder buyout?
Briefly, the answer is yes, but in all cases, the minority shareholder may mount a legal challenge to block any attempted buyout.Firstly, the majority shareholder can vote to introduce clauses into the Company's Articles allowing the expropriation of the shares of the minority shareholders.Secondly, where a sufficient percentage of shares is already held, the majority shareholder may force the compulsory acquisition of the remaining shares under Sections 428-430F of the Companies Act 1985. (Please note that some changes were made to these provisions in the Companies Act 2006 and different rules now apply to buyout bids and takeovers made after 6 April 2007)
What is the advantage of cumulative voting?
The main advantage of cumulative voting is that it disperses the power to elect directors among shareholders, instead of concentrating the power in the majority shareholder. This can be helpful in a number of situations, especially when the corporation is forming and a significant (but not majority) investor wants some assurance that she will have some power over the board. Another (possible) advantage (depending on which side you're on), is that it makes it more difficult to remove directors, because a director can't be removed under cumulative voting if the votes cast against removal would have been enough to elect the director. Thus, a majority vote won't be sufficient to remove a director. This is another benefit for the minority shareholders, who may be weary about the majority's control.
