When you buy a domain you are buying the right to own it for the period of time left on its registration. I have bought names that are expiring in a week. If I just bought the name and did not go into myaccount and renew the name for another year or two I would have lost the name.
So you only have rights to the name as long as its registration is paid. Some people register the domain for ten years! I ususally only do so for one year at a time. The reason is all my names are for sale and so why pay for more than one year at a time.
