About
Delister is a small service, run by one person, for creators who sell courses and keep finding them reposted for free. You correspond with a named human, not a ticket queue, and that person files every notice and signs every piece of correspondence.
A paid course that sells is a course worth stealing. Copies show up on download aggregators and file hosts, and someone searching your course name finds the free version sitting next to your checkout. Filing takedowns yourself works, but it is slow and repetitive, so most creators try it once and give up. Delister is the person who keeps at it for you.
Most piracy listings do not hold the file. They link out to a host like MEGA, Pixeldrain, or Send, and the file sits there. So the first job is to find where the download lives, then file where it counts: a DMCA notice to the host that is holding the file, and a de-index request to Google so the listing stops appearing in search. Compliant hosts remove the file at the source, which kills every listing pointing at it. For sites that ignore notices, the de-index is what stops the harm, because that is where the traffic comes from.
Every notice is a public legal tool available to any rights holder. Delister does nothing a creator could not do alone; it does it thoroughly, across every site, and keeps checking for reuploads.
The methods are open. Delister publishes its takedown guides and route data and a small tool for checking whether a file is still up on GitHub, free to use.
You pay after, not before: the invoice arrives once you can see the listings are gone, and nothing coming down means nothing owed. Delister never asks for your passwords, logins, or platform access, only your course details and a signed DMCA authorization naming you as the rights holder. And you see the evidence at every step, so a removal is something you can confirm yourself rather than take on trust.
Not everything comes down, and Delister says so upfront rather than after an invoice. Some hosts act within days; some listing sites never remove anything, which is exactly why the Google de-index matters. You are told what was found, what is likely to move, and what is not, before you commit to anything.

I run the takedowns personally and answer every email. Send me your course and I will show you exactly where it is being copied.
