Companies sell us products but retain control, limiting how we use, repair, customize, and even access them.
You think you own your car, but the manufacturer charges a subscription to unlock more horsepower.
You bought a video game, but the publisher destroys it by shutting down the servers.
You try to fix your dishwasher, but you can't do it without calling the manufacturer.
This isn't convenience.
It's control.
And it's creeping into every part of our digital lives, one "update" at a time. If we don't act now, we risk locking future generations into a world where everything is leased, nothing is owned, and the power lies in the hands of companies, not consumers.
FULU was founded to stand up to the anti-ownership agenda. We're reclaiming the idea that when you buy something, it belongs to you. Not your service provider. Not the company that made it. You.
We research and document companies' anti-ownership practices. Whether it's digital locks, legal threats, or privacy violations, we pull back the curtain and make the truth public.
We translate complex laws, policy concepts, and technical barriers into accessible stories and ideas that people can understand. We empower users with knowledge through YouTube, the Consumer Rights Wiki, and our newsletter.
We build coalitions. Whether you're a fixer, a farmer, a gamer, an activist-or you just own an internet-connected refrigerator-your ownership rights are under attack. Bringing our voices together is the best way to make sure they're heard.
We support legal and legislative efforts to replace anti-consumer laws with ones that protect our right to own the devices and media that we bought.
