This depends on you licensing it though instead of owning it. Is that clearly stated on the box or by the sales person when you purchase OSX? When you buy a music CD you own it, there's no reason for it to be different for software.
Again, this is exactly the same as for DVD's or CD's. MGM/Sony/Whatever owns the IP, you own a copy of it.
The interesting part is if Apple can actually claim that you are only licensing OSX when you purchase it.
