Hey Jansroka, you are right. This is a case, of course, creator work has been pirated and redistributed by pirates online. this is a huge problem. PriveGuard is a do-it-for-you service using an internal tool to find pirated products and remove them so the original owners can compound their resources.
An example we currently see only: Since starting our service, we’ve discovered all kinds of shady approaches to copyright infringement and piracy, such as:
Sellers on Etsy & Tokopedia re-selling (unlicensed) Procreate brushes at a discount (undercutting the original creator’s price)
@chddaniel of Simple.Ink outright stealing and re-selling Supercreative’s Notion Freelancer Pack
Discord servers dedicated to illegally sharing pirated premium assets from marketplaces like CreativeMarket and Etsy
We’re continuing to learn and adapt to combat the new methods that pirates use to illegally distribute the work of creators. We hope this guide will help you protect your creations from piracy and copyright infringement.
Not your target group (I am not a course creator), but I'd like to better understand the problem you are trying to fix.
Is this a thing that people buy a course, and then illegally re-sell it? How often does it happen? Any high-visibility cases I should know of? And don't people realise that they are buying a pirated course? (Is this not relevant to buyers?)
Just trying to understand the problem space...
