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
