The idea of "everyone" owning something, ie a commons, is a contradiction. If everyone owns it, then no one owns it.
Assume the thing has exactly one owner. Then "reciprocity" and "equality" are addressed by the owner charging a fee to use the thing. Currency exchanged by consumers compensates the owner-operator's work.
