What Should I do if I Find a Course on a Pirate Site?

This article explains what you can do if you find your course on a pirate site and wish to report it to our anti-piracy vendor.

How Udemy protects your content

Udemy uses a proprietary player and attaches a Udemy watermark to all course videos. This is why, when you upload a video to Udemy, there is both uploading and "processing" time, because we are encoding your videos to make them difficult to steal.

The Piracy Detection Program

For a motivated pirate, however, any content that appears on a computer screen is vulnerable to theft.  This is an unavoidable problem across the industry.  

As a result, Udemy works with an anti-piracy vendor who proactively monitors for infringements in an  effort we call our "Piracy Detection Program.” We are dedicated to protecting your content.

How to submit a report to our anti-piracy vendor

In addition to the proactive monitoring of the “Piracy Detection Program,” we can also help you bring down courses if you find a link you believe is infringing.  If you find any instances of infringement, you can report it directly to our piracy vendor by filling out the third-party piracy reporting form.  Upon receipt of your report, our piracy vendor will process your requests within approximately 48 hours.

Upon submitting the suspicious link to our anti-piracy vendor, you should receive an initial email confirming receipt of your submission. Within 48 hours, you will also receive a follow-up email confirming what action was taken.

Still have questions?

If you would like to follow-up on your report or have any further questions, you can email takedowns@udemy.com. Our vendor will not be able to respond to inquiries about this program.
