Infringement Control is redefining digital rights protection and is an indispensable service for online creators. It blends guerrilla legal tactics and platform-savvy engineering to give creators a fighting chance against deep-pocketed infringers and opaque tech giants. The company’s founder recognized a genuine need for these digital issues, and his expertise stems from years of experience in the field, which he leverages to curate viable solutions.
On a Mission to Protect the Creative Economy
Ans Ishfaq is the founder of Infringement Control, a digital protection consultancy dedicated to helping online creators safeguard their work. This includes recovering stolen assets and regaining control over suspended or banned accounts. A “digital native” turned legal tactician, Ishfaq has spent years navigating copyright law, the DMCA process, and platform-specific security protocols from the trenches.
Ishfaq has often acted as both an advocate and advisor for authors, filmmakers, performers, agency owners, and other content producers who feel powerless against tech giants.
He is also an author, creator, advocate, and digital protection specialist. Ishfaq has years of experience navigating the complexities of copyright, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), and account security. As a result of his extensive knowledge in the field, Ishfaq wrote Digital Fortress as a way to educate and empower creatives who feel that their rights are not being protected.
Digital Fortress: Online Content Protection
Ishfaq’s new book, Digital Fortress, distills hard-won lessons into a practical, action-first manual for creators, cutting through the legal jargon to deliver fundamental strategies for:
- Preventing content theft by leveraging automated takedown systems (DMCA) and manual enforcement
- Regaining access to locked or banned accounts on major platforms
- Building leverage in disputes with social networks, publishing services, and hosting providers
- Navigating loopholes and emerging legal frameworks to turn “red tape” into creative armor
Under Ishfaq’s guidance, clients have successfully reclaimed copyrighted works, reversed wrongful suspensions, and even secured financial compensation for unauthorized use. Infringement Control combines that frontline experience with a relentless, self-taught approach, eschewing academic theory in favor of battle-tested playbooks.
In a digital world of red tape, Ishfaq is independent and self-taught, leaving many to underestimate his talents. However, his approach to infringement and other issues is informed by a deep appreciation and extensive experience that he brings to his clients.
The Drive Behind Infringement Control
Ishfaq was inspired to start Infringement Control when he witnessed many creatives losing everything they had overnight due to stolen content, accounts being banned, or other acts. The thought of people being stripped of everything they had and not knowing how to combat the issue weighed heavily on him.
Ishfaq is also quick to point out that he is neither an academic nor a lawyer. Instead, he is a digital native who has worked with multiple creators and knows how to assist them effectively.
Ishfaq says, “I know how it feels to be ignored on platforms, and I know what works. My book speaks from experience—no fluff, just hard-earned lessons and real strategies. I wrote it like I was talking to a friend who needed to protect themselves today.”
As the world becomes increasingly digital, individuals are discovering new career paths and a different set of career challenges. Ans Ishfaq is hoping to bridge that gap by founding Infringement Control to help digital creators maintain authority over their work.
