Well of course you don't own it--the airline does--but I would argue you certainly have the right to control it. That's the whole point of a window seat. @:-)

There are other people next to you may have other needs and their health and well being is something you need to consider
If controlling the window is important to them, they should sit in a window seat. @:-)

FWIW, I'm more apt to "consider" others' needs when the issue is either (1) sun directly shining into someones eyes, or (2) glare on an IFE screen. Sleeping doesn't count, that's why there are eyeshades. @:-)
