I thought this was going to touch on how many Udemy courses are stolen.
- duxup 8y agoAre there a lot? Like people copying slides or such?
- curiousgal 8y agoMore like people reuploading entire courses. >in 2015, we have received 125 DMCA notifications as well as 45 “Hey, this looks weird maybe you should look into this,” notifications https://medium.com/@robconery/how-udemy-is-profiting-from-piracy-5638b929ffca https://medium.com/@robconery/how-udemy-is-profiting-from-pi...
- Rotdhizon 8y agoInteresting read, I didn't know anything about that. It seems like all would be solved if they put even a tiny bit of effort into vetting uploads. What type of educational site allows most any upload to make it through? They're approach seems to be reactive as compared to other sites being proactive, another red flag.
- duxup 8y agoThat's pretty terrible. Seems like even some basic effort would sniff out a lot of these ...
- Moncefmd 8y agoI don't have the source, but I remember reading on Reddit that someone had his free programming YouTube tutorials series uploaded to udemy and behind a paywall.
- applecrazy 8y agoEven worse. There are people stealing entire courses from elsewhere (even the video content) and selling them shamelessly. There were article on this a while ago, let me see if I can find them.
- jocoda 8y agoNot sure that all courses from youtube are being stolen. I rather think that they when they find topical content on youtube they approach the content creator to put the course on their site as well. Udemy's quality is mostly poor, but it's usually glaringly obvious when a course is rubbish. One or two courses are actually really good.
