You may think space should not be owned by a person but what about a part of space. When people start colonizing space like a plot on the moon should they not own that plot? How would they make sure other people don't start building on the same plot of moon as they are building?

I'd like to see communal ownership of property in space with it being used for the overall public benefit, but for private ownership I think a bare minimum necessary is that someone needs to be able to interact with the claimed property in some way to claim it.
The people who are buying this land in space are not the same people who are actually going up there and doing anything. As per the story in the first link the people who were actually going up there and doing stuff in space (NASA) were being hampered by someone who did nothing more than sign a form and then start making claims about what he did and did not own. So in fact we see that private ownership - at least in the manner we have at the moment and that seems to be up for debate - potentially hampers space development.

The right or wrong of ownership by an individual or group is merely a conceptual notion.
As ever, this issue will probably be decided by wealth and power and not by a collective altruistic agreement.

It's 0.00001% chance that the reason they are not hurting us, if they are that superior in strategic war advancement, is because we are being neutral them. It's 99.99999% chance that they are therefore a good ally to us and we can work with that bunch of aliens to dominate the other more sinister ones.
