Matmonim: Daf Yomi by Rabbi David Lapin

Avodah Zarah 42a Ownership and Value - גזרה דלמא מגבה לה

Rabbi David Lapin

There is a widely held assumption that if one is forbidden to benefit from a certain object, it has no value and therefore is not subject to the laws of ownership. However, probing more deeply we discover ownership is not determined by one’s rights to an object but rather by one’s responsibility for it.
