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.
