Point - the Professor doesn't own Zoidberg. Zoidberg's possessions are thus not the Professor's. If Bender was owned by the Professor, he could no more own stock than the ship in a bottle. U' EXAMPLIN': BAD
Point - Your evidence actually exists, huh? Whole lotta conjecture going on there. It's Bender's apartment, it was Bender's apartment before he joined Planet Express, and it is still Bender's apartment. If he was owned by the Professor, all of his possessions would automatically be the professor's That means that the Professor would own/rent the apartment, not Bender.
Point - The stipends would still go to the professor. Again, if the Professor owns Bender, Bender has no legal standing of his own. Thus, he cannot receive stipends, etc. It would all go to the Professor.
Point - See above.
Point - Yes he can. It's his possession. Possessions are not people, they are things. If a slave were to steal/break/do something bad, the owner would be expected to pay for it/held responsible.
Point - Someone has to be dazed and confused to tell an outright lie in order to look better in front of a crowd?

I tire of this game, Pope-man. If you really want to believe that the professor doesn't own Bender, that's fine. I could easily counter your monetary arguments with theories of indentured servitude, allowances, laws regarding wages paid to robot posessions, etc. But frankly, who cares. Until we see a Futurama in which Bender is shown not to be the professor's robot, I will enjoy the idea of his being Professy's plaything.
By the way, if professor doesn't own Bender, he would have no right to do things like pound a emotion chip into his head (I Second That Emotion). He WANTED to modify Fry, but since he doesn't own Fry, he wasn't able to graft a laser cannon onto his chest (Put Your Head on my Shoulder).
