FanLock, an automatic leak removal platform built by content creators Zander Small and Morgpie, has launched to help independent creators protect their work from piracy across Telegram, Google Search, and more than four million websites. The company was co-founded by Small, a comedy creator, and backed by popular streamer and adult content creator Morgpie, who invested after years of frustration with existing content protection services.

Why it matters

The creator economy is projected to exceed $500 billion by 2027, and industry estimates suggest that top creators lose between 20 and 40 percent of potential earnings to leaked content each year. As the industry scales, content protection infrastructure has become increasingly critical for creators who depend on subscription revenue.

The details

FanLock uses a four-tier escalation system that begins with automated DMCA takedown notices, then escalates to direct hosting provider contact, search engine delisting requests, and white-glove manual removal for persistent violations. The platform also monitors Telegram, which has become one of the primary channels for distributing pirated creator content. Most existing DMCA services do not cover Telegram, leaving a significant gap that FanLock was specifically designed to address. The company also provides deepfake detection and removal services, addressing the growing threat of AI-generated content using creator likenesses without permission.
