I don't want to be the owner. I know someone who protected himself from prosecution for growing marijuana, surrounded by others doing the same, and he is the only one that avoided it by showing that he is not owner of the name and merely "uses" it within their system. It is "their" name and "their" identity, given to him at birth, to use.
It was not easy to prove, but he did it.
Much like I may use/drive a car, that does not make me a car. I also may "use" a name, but that does not mean that I am that name.
