Removal guide

How to remove your course from Online-Courses.club

Online-Courses.club is a download aggregator where unauthorized copies of paid courses are posted for free download. It is on the list of venues we track in the course-piracy circuit, but we have not yet filed against it ourselves, so what follows is the standard route we use across comparable sites, marked plainly: not yet field-tested by us on this venue.

Does Online-Courses.club honor DMCA notices?

Unknown to us first-hand. When we checked contact routes across this circuit, most aggregators published no working, monitored DMCA email, and we have none on record for this site. The route below works without the site's cooperation; if you find a published DMCA contact when you look, add it as a parallel layer.

The DIY route (standard two-layer, not yet field-tested by us here)

Step 1: File a Google Search removal request

The de-index layer acts on Google, not on the venue, so it works identically for any site.

  1. Search Google for your course name and your name, and copy the exact Online-Courses.club 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 carries multiple URLs.
  4. Confirm the sworn statements, pass the human check, and submit. Confirmation arrives immediately by email, and Google's removals dashboard tracks the request.

In our filings against other venues in this circuit, listings stopped surfacing for course-name searches within days of this step, inside Google's stated two-week window.

Step 2: Send the notice to the host that stores the file

Most sites in this circuit sit behind Cloudflare, and Cloudflare accepts a DMCA report at https://abuse.cloudflare.com and forwards it to the site owner and its hosting provider. It removes nothing itself, though, and in our filings against other venues forwarding alone did not bring a listing down, so we no longer rely on it. The file host holds the file and can remove it, so the notice goes there; a Cloudflare report is optional.

  1. Open the Online-Courses.club listing for your course and follow its download links until you reach the file host's own address. Copy the full file URL; if the course is split across several files, collect every file URL.
  2. Email that host's own copyright or abuse address (for MEGA, Pixeldrain and Send, our guides for those hosts give it) with your full legal name and country, the course name, your official sales page URL as the authorized example of the work, the exact file URL or URLs, and the good-faith and accuracy statements the host's copyright page asks for.
  3. Recheck the file URL after the host acts. A removed file no longer serves the download, even if the listing is still up.

Step 3: Direct DMCA email

Only if the site publishes one; we have none on record.

Time cost

Plan 20 to 30 minutes for the first listing, plus a recheck a few days later, and a repeat pass if the listing reappears under a new URL.

Or have us file it

Delister files all of this for you, plus every other venue hosting your course, for $89 once per course. You pay only after it is down, and for three months, every time it reappears we file again and send you the notice and what happened to it. The free scan maps every venue first, no obligation.
