That counts as selling it. You have to create a shell corporation that owns the elephant and then create a co-ownership agreement with a zoo that guarantees that they house it in exchange for the profits that it generates.

Literally does not. I own the elephant in perpetuity and reserve the eternal right to reclaim it at any time, for any reason - I am the legal owner of record, now and forever. It's the same relationship you have with digital media, except I never took an upfront fee.

If you still disagree, I'll see you in court.
