Removal guide

How to remove your course from Design.rip

Design.rip is a download aggregator that hosts unauthorized copies of paid design and 3D course material. Its listing URLs are short course-name slugs, so a search for your course title surfaces them quickly.

Does Design.rip honor DMCA notices?

Our July 2026 filings against Design.rip used no direct DMCA contact; we filed through Google Search removal and a Cloudflare abuse report, and both were accepted. If you find a published DMCA route on the site when you look, treat it as a bonus layer; the two below do not depend on it.

The DIY route

Step 1: File a Google Search removal request

  1. Search Google for your course name plus "free download" and copy the exact Design.rip URL from the results.
  2. Go to https://reportcontent.google.com/forms/dmca_search and sign in with a Google account.
  3. File as the rights holder: your full legal name, your country, the course name with a short description, your official sales page URL as the example of the authorized work, and the infringing URL. One report can carry several URLs.
  4. Confirm the sworn statements, pass the human check, and submit. The confirmation email is immediate, and Google's removals dashboard tracks each URL from there.

Step 2: File a Cloudflare abuse report

Design.rip sits behind Cloudflare; we confirmed this when Cloudflare accepted our report and emailed back a case reference the same day.

  1. Go to https://abuse.cloudflare.com and choose the DMCA report.
  2. Enter your name, address, and country, the infringing URL or URLs, and a description of the original work with its official URL.
  3. Tick the human-verification checkbox at the bottom of the form; the submit button stays disabled until it is ticked.
  4. Submit. The case reference arrives by email, along with confirmation that the report was forwarded to the site owner and its hosting provider. The on-screen acknowledgment is brief; do not resubmit because it looks thin.

Step 3: Direct DMCA email

We have no field-tested direct contact for Design.rip as of July 2026. The two layers above are the working route.

What to expect, from our filings

Google acknowledged immediately, and the listing stopped surfacing for course-name searches within days, inside Google's stated two-week window. Cloudflare acknowledged the same day. Cloudflare forwards the notice rather than acting on the content, so whether the file comes down at the source is the host's decision; the search de-index is the outcome that reliably lands and the one that cuts the listing's traffic.

Time cost

20 to 30 minutes for the first listing across both forms, a few minutes per extra URL, plus a recheck a few days later to confirm the listing has left the results.

Or have us file it

Delister files all of this for you, plus every other venue hosting your course, for $79 per course, pay on success: a removal counts when the listing is de-indexed from Google Search or the file is removed at the host. Start with the free scan and get the full list of venues first.
