Filling out Udemy's "Report Abuse" form to report a "Copyright or Trademark Violation" probably doesn't create any legal obligation on their part to take any action. The author (copyright holder) should have filed an official DMCA takedown request, directed at Udemy's designated DMCA contact, whose e-mail and postal addresses can be found here:

Udemy really is one of the worst platforms imaginable for instructors.

They will even brand your videos without your consent by adding Udemy logo watermarks to every video.

If you guys want to hear another horror story about Udemy, take a skim through:

(note: the above post is a few days old)

Someone really needs to step up and create a more reasonable course hosting platform.

While I sympathize with the author its (edit)unreasonable to suggest that they should be validating each course. However it appears more should be done to ease the path to getting your content taken down.

You would think the person selling the course would have payment information that could be used to track that individual down, the correct course of action is to sue.

If the content isnt worth doing this then the content isnt actually that valuable to the author.

I think you exaggerate a bit here. How easy is to sue someone from a different country ?
