no one really 'owns' the internet, as Tim Berners-Lee and CERN created a way so that all the computers were linked so incase a bomb fell on one or it just broke, the data would still be accesible for the other computers. This then grew for defence networks in the USA, hence the common misconception that the Americans invented the internet. People who have web pages that are entirely theirs 'own' a 'slice' of the internet, but a page like this question page is owned by the answers corporation, not you.

I hope this helped to shed some light on the subject.
