Who owns the CVR and FDR data?

A complete CVR transcript would shed a lot of light on the question of whether or not an MCAS runaway is beyond the capability of the average MAX pilot. A complete FDR dataset would fill in some of the blanks that continue to cause confusion and argument. Many posters say, "Let's wait for the final report."

Waiting is not an acceptable option for Boeing and their MAX-customers.

Does anyone know if Boeing/FAA/NTSB have seen the complete CVR and FDR data?

The Ethiopean government's secrecy in the early days of the investigation suggest that they are not in the mood for sharing. International law entitles them to run the investigation. Does it also allow them to hide the data?
