Instructor Guidelines for Reporting Copyright Violations on Other Platforms

This article explains the options available to you if you find that someone has pirated and posted your course on another platform. 

  • If you’re looking to report a website based in China, please consult these instructor guidelines for reporting copyright violations on platforms in China.

While our Piracy Detection Program has been able to successfully delist more than 98% of infringing piracy URLs, many platforms cannot act on a copyright infringement claim unless the claim comes directly from the copyright owner or an entity legally authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf, such as a law firm.  

As such, for a quicker resolution, copyright owners may wish to directly report to the platform or search engine where the infringing activity is occurring. 

If you would rather our third-party anti-piracy vendor, Corsearch, report the infringing activity to the platform or search engine for you, please review this  Help Center article. Please note, if you choose to use our anti-piracy vendor, we are unable to provide status updates after submission of the form. 

Submitting a DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) Takedown Notification on other platforms

Most popular content hosting platforms have dedicated legal processes and support pages for filing a DMCA takedown. 

To file a DMCA Takedown notice, you will generally need several key pieces of information, sometimes certain platforms have you check a box instead of making the required statement:

  • The infringing URL (location where your content is being hosted without your authorization).
  • A source URL (a description of your original content or a link to its location). 
  • Your contact information.
  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that the infringing content is not authorized by you, the copyright owner, your agent, or the law.
  • A statement that the information you have provided is accurate
  • A statement that you are the copyright owner
  • Your electronic signature

Submitting a request to delist content from major search engines

Copyright owners typically have difficulty getting their copyright protected content removed from torrent and pirate sites. If you find your copyright protected content on a platform that fails to comply or respond to a DMCA Takedown Notice, you may wish to instead file a request with major search engines to delist the link. Delisting a link does not remove the content, but it does make it harder for someone to potentially find and download a pirated version of your course.

Please find instructions on how to contact the following search engines below:

If you would like to follow-up on your reports, please follow up directly with the support team of the website in question. If you have any further questions about this or the Piracy Detection Program, you can email takedowns@udemy.com.
