sorry the late answer, got distracted yesterday... but here it is: Piracy is rampant, Udemy isn't doing anything against it (afaik). If someone needs to pirate a course and download it for free that's offered for 9.99 and not get the Q&A, the downloads, the additional stuff, the updates and all of that, so be it. Can't change that. Also, a lot of the folks who pirate a course will never pay for it. It's a loss on paper. Still a loss though. Here's the kicker: I'm thinking, if my courses teach someone the blockchain stuff and turn his life around to go from $3/h job to a $60/h job (happened), feel free to pirate. Actually, send me a message and I'll give you a free coupon if you really can't afford the whatever $10. I did this so many times, I'm happy to help, I do care more about other peoples success than about the little money udemy brings in. Plagiarism is another category. If I catch you taking my content and repurposing it to sell it under your name, I will come after you as hard as I can. I am not sure if udemy does something actively against plagiarism or not, but if I find a person who is bluntly reuploading my stuff verbatim to udemy (happened) or slightly editing my courses and repurposing them to make money (happened too), I will not only send a takedown notice, I will come after you and collect damages and ruin your life as much as I can, because I consider that the absolut scum of the internet and I wish everyone who does that has rashes on intimate body parts for the rest of their lives and can't sit straight. That's my take.
