Customer Support/Digidesign Products, is the registered owner, the legal owner?

[editor]

Hello digi CS,

Hello, I have run into a situation where an employee has registered several of my digidesign systems in his name (with my knowledge), vs the company name.

He is a great guy and its no big deal, because he also handles all installs and the like, its an honest deal, "fill this stupid thing out and get it off of my desk and get the freaking plug-ins installed.

My question came up as we were discussing selling off gear and I joked with him I was gonna' lay the tax liability off on him...he got a bit more than interested at that point; and we both are wondering...

#1. In the eyes of digi who is the legal owner of a system.

#2. In the eyes of the law, (the tax man etc) who s the legal owner of a system.

See my point....

Is the registration card holder the legal owner, even if he didn't buy the system?

Just one of those finer points of the law deals here. Two guy fighting over tax write offs... I am also wondering what if I woke up and I was cleaned out, who would be the guy to do the insurance and police papers me or him? See my point?

Thanks guys.
