You are correct, there are consumer cooperatives, but the principle that they are limited to their own members is the same.

Michel,

I am concerned about one of your points in comparing P2P with cooperatives:

2. P2P belongs to all and cooperatives belong to an specific collective, you know, the workers that are the owners.

This is not necessarily accurate because there is a type of cooperative much closer to User Ownership where it is not the workers, but the consumers that own.

You are correct, there are consumer cooperatives, but the principle that they are limited to their own members is the same.
