COURSE PLATFORMRemove pirated Teachable courses — in 48 hours.
Your Teachable course lives on your own branded domain — but the pirated copy lives on clone sites, Telegram channels, and torrent trackers you'll never find on your own. DMCA Masters hunts every copy across 100+ platforms and eight search engines, then keeps watching.
§ 02 · How piracy happens on Teachable
Why Teachable courses are especially vulnerable.
Custom domains make your course look professional — but they also mean pirated copies are harder for you to find without dedicated monitoring.
Video ripping from your custom domain
A student enrolls on your branded Teachable site, uses a browser extension or screen recorder to download every lesson, and packages it as a zip. Your custom domain's branding gets stripped — the pirate just keeps the video files. Teachable's built-in protections don't survive this.
Clone sites mirroring your curriculum
Dedicated piracy sites scrape your Teachable course page — title, description, curriculum outline — and host the ripped videos under a disposable domain. Some even replicate your sales page layout to look legitimate. Because your real course is on a custom domain, the clone can outrank you.
Telegram & Discord distribution
Private Telegram channels and Discord servers trade stolen Teachable courses alongside Udemy and Kajabi rips. Your course gets bundled into "premium course packs" sold for a few dollars a month. By the time you find out, it's been shared hundreds of times in channels most automation can't reach.
Search poisoning on your brand keywords
When someone searches your course name, leak sites start appearing alongside — or above — your real Teachable page on Google, Bing, and Yandex. You lose sales not just to people looking for free content, but to buyers who can't tell the difference between your site and the pirate's.
§ 03 · Our Teachable takedown process
What actually happens when we protect your Teachable course.
The real timeline of a Teachable DMCA case — from intake to confirmed removal.
- T + 00:00
Submit your Teachable course URL
You give us your Teachable course URL (your custom domain or *.teachable.com), your instructor profile, and any pirate links you've found. We verify your rights and classify the targets — clone sites, Telegram, torrents, filehosts, or search engines.
- T + 00:30
Evidence packets built per target
Screenshots, infringing URLs, and file hashes are documented. Each target gets a DMCA notice formatted for its specific host's requirements — not a generic template. Clone site hosts, torrent trackers, Telegram, and filehosts each need different formats.
- T + 01:30
Notices filed in parallel
Takedown notices go out simultaneously to clone site hosts, domain registrars, CDNs, Google, Bing, Yandex, DuckDuckGo, and payment processors where the pirate operation is commercial. Parallel filing prevents re-uploads from outpacing the takedowns.
- T + 06:00
First confirmations
Most compliant hosts respond within six hours. You get a live notification for every confirmed removal — no waiting for a monthly PDF.
- T + 24:00
Search engine delistings land
Google, Bing, Yandex, and DuckDuckGo confirm de-indexing. Your real Teachable course page starts reclaiming the search positions the pirate copies were squatting on.
- T + 48:00
Coverage sweep & escalation
We re-scan every surface to confirm no copies remain. Anything still live gets escalated to registrar and host abuse teams. If we miss the 48-hour mark on an in-scope takedown, your next month is free.
- Ongoing
Continuous monitoring & re-removal
Your Teachable course stays monitored for the life of your plan. Every re-upload triggers a fresh takedown automatically — at no extra cost.
§ 04 · What we take down for Teachable creators
Every surface your Teachable course actually appears on.
Every site, channel, and tracker where your Teachable course could end up — listed by name so you know exactly what's covered.
Clone sites & course mirrors
Disposable sites that host ripped copies of paid Teachable courses for free download.
Telegram & Discord
Private channels trading stolen Teachable courses — the surface most takedown tools skip entirely.
Torrent trackers & filehosts
The download infrastructure every piracy operation points to.
Search engines (multi-engine delisting)
We file with every engine — including the ones most agencies skip.
Course-leak communities
Forums and groups where Teachable course trading happens openly.
§ 05 · What's included
Everything you need to protect your Teachable course.
One plan, one price — every piracy surface covered.
Clone site removals
Course rip sites, aggregators, disposable academy subdomains, and "free Teachable download" pages. DMCA notices filed directly with hosts — not through a generic form.
Telegram & Discord takedowns
We manually pursue every reported Telegram group and Discord server reselling your Teachable course. Most automation skips these entirely — we don't.
Multi-search-engine delisting
Google, Bing, Yandex, and DuckDuckGo de-indexing. Your real Teachable page gets its organic search traffic back — especially important when pirates target your brand keywords.
Torrent & filehost removals
Public and private trackers, magnet indexers, Mega, Mediafire, Rapidgator, and the long tail of filehosts your course rip eventually lands on.
Counter-notice defense
When bad-faith counter-notices come back, we defend your claim with documentation and escalation — so your takedowns stick.
Payment-processor reports
When a pirate operation selling your Teachable course is commercial, we report them to Stripe, PayPal, and other processors where the evidence supports it.
§ 06 · Why not file yourself?
What happens when you try to remove pirated Teachable courses on your own.
Teachable's built-in tools protect your content on Teachable.com — but your pirated course lives everywhere else.
Search engine coverage
Google only — leaves Bing, Yandex, and DuckDuckGo still indexing the pirated copy of your course.
All 8+ engines filed in parallel. Every pirated URL drops from every search index.
Telegram & Discord
No standard process exists — most creators don't even know their course is being traded in private channels.
We manually pursue every channel in the format Telegram's abuse team actually responds to.
Discovering pirated copies
You'd need to search for your own course name across dozens of piracy sites, trackers, and channels — daily.
Continuous automated monitoring across 100+ surfaces. We find copies you'd never discover on your own.
Filing format
One generic DMCA template cross-posted everywhere — most hosts bounce it as incomplete or malformed.
Per-host formatting. Each notice drafted for the specific host's requirements and legal process.
Counter-notices
A counter-notice arrives and you have 10 business days to file a federal lawsuit — or the content goes back up.
We defend your claim with documentation, evidence, and escalation. Takedowns stick.
Time investment
Hours per week hunting copies, filling out forms, chasing unresponsive hosts, and checking if removed content reappears.
Submit once. Get notified when takedowns land. Re-uploads handled automatically.
Every hour you spend filing notices is an hour you could spend making courses. We handle the enforcement.
