Instructor Guidelines for Reporting Copyright Violations on Other Platforms (China)

This article explains the options available to you if someone has pirated and posted your content on a platform based in China. 

• Review options available to you if you find that someone has pirated and posted your course on another platform, outside of China.

While our Piracy Detection Program proactively monitors for piracy infringements, our anti-piracy vendor may not be delisting URLS from major Chinese search engines. 

As such, for a quicker resolution and more hands on approach, copyright owners should directly report to the platform or search engine where the infringing activity is occurring. Learn how to report pirate sites through our third-party, anti-piracy vendor.

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 Takedown Notification on Other Platforms

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) is a United States federal law that established standards and procedures for copyright owners to submit notices to platforms hosting third party content. If a platform did not wish to be held liable for copyright infringement because a user posted copyright protected content, then it had to abide by the procedures within the DMCA, such as responding to DMCA notices. As the DMCA is a United States law it does not apply to China. 

While the DMCA does not apply in China, China did enact its own version in the 2000s. As such, most popular websites in China do have dedicated legal processes and support pages for reporting copyright infringement.

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 copyright infringement 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.

虽然我们的盗版检测计划积极监测盗版侵权行为，但我们的反盗版供应商可能不会从中国主要搜索引擎中删除 URLS。 

因此，为了更快地解决问题并更具实操性，版权所有者应直接向发生侵权活动的平台或搜索引擎报告。了解如何通过我们的第三方反盗版供应商报告盗版网站。 

在其他平台上提交删除通知书

《数字千年版权法》（“DMCA”）是一项美国联邦法律，为版权所有者向托管第三方内容的平台提交声明制定了标准和程序。如果一个平台不希望因为用户发布了受版权保护的内容而对版权侵权承担责任，它必须遵守 DMCA 规定的程序，例如响应 DMCA 声明。由于 DMCA 是美国法律，它不适用于中国。 

虽然 DMCA 不适用于中国，但中国在 2000 年代制定了自己的《数字千年版权法》。因此，中国大多数受欢迎的网站都有用于报告版权侵权行为的专门的法律程序和支持页面。

提交从主要搜索引擎上删除内容的请求

版权所有者通常很难从种子网站和盗版网站上删除其受版权保护的内容。如果您在一个平台上发现您的受版权保护的内容没有遵守或回应版权侵权声明，您应该向主要搜索引擎申请删除该链接。删除链接并不会删除内容，但会使人们更难找到和下载您课程的盗版版本。
