Udemy basically has a similar piracy to YouTube. If someone reports the content as copyright, Udemy looks into it and takes it down. They also now actively check for copyright infringement when approving a course for their marketplace. As far as any money exchanged, it just gets refunded (in the case posted here, only free coupons were used, so no money was exchanged).

The CEO posted a blog on this event: https://blog.udemy.com/maintaining-the-integrity-of-our-udem...

Basically Troy's course got posted on Nov 18th,it was reported on Thanksgiving Day, and it was taken down the next day.

That wasn't the blogs main criticism... It was that the site advertises itself as a place for high quality educational content but does no review of the content at all.
