Aloha Mr. Andronio,
These are all interesting questions. As far as I can tell, there are at least 2 types of registration, manufacturer and government. Manufacturer registration allows warranty information to be recorded to protect the manufacturer and the customer. Government registration is relatively new and deals with liability issues between the owner and the public. Government registration may or may not apply to Danish drones, it does apply now to American drones.
Now for the important questions; did you put the "S" into the DJI Go app to name the drone? If not did the vender who sold you the drone have "S" as a significant part of their business name and did they input the "S"? It is next to impossible to change the name of the drone once it is input. Have you called the vender to ask them questions about where the drone came from, and maybe where did the "S" come from? Is the local DJI dealer you bought the P3A from, a certified dealer by DJI?
I must commend you for showing such restraint with such a seriously fun tool at your disposal. These questions are all questions that can be answered "after-the-fact". If you crashed the P3A into the capitol building of Denmark, you would not be the registered owner and all entities in the chain of ownership would be suspect in the investigation. There would be "deep kim-chee" to deal with after that scenario; and you would be the last suspect in the act. You have the right to be concerned about previous ownership of your P3A, but should that limit your expectations for enjoyment of the product of your purchase as long as you document that you are using it responsibly? If you have proof of ownership with a date stamp, and that date stamp precedes your first flight, you would be within expectations to fly your P3A. The DJI Go app has ways to record your flights, including battery operations. This record can stand you in good stead. At worst, you are a victim, but victims should be able to have fun!
Fly responsibly and fly safe while you figure out what the ownership issues lead to; but your innocent expectations from your non-culpable purchase should also be respected.
Aloha and Drone On!
