Removal guide
Pixeldrain (pixeldrain.com) is a file host, not a listing site. When your course appears on a piracy aggregator, the download button often points at a Pixeldrain file. Take the file down at Pixeldrain and every listing that points to it stops working the moment the file does.
Pixeldrain publishes an abuse contact and acts on copyright complaints sent to it. Because it hosts the file rather than merely linking to it, a notice here is higher leverage than one aimed at the listing page. Notices to Pixeldrain are worded plainly and kept to the facts; a clean, specific complaint from a reachable sender is what gets acted on.
Open the pirate listing that ranks for your course name and follow the download button until you land on a pixeldrain.com address, usually of the form pixeldrain.com/u/ followed by a file ID. Copy that full URL. If one course is split across several Pixeldrain files, collect each one.
Email [email protected] and include:
Keep the notice plain and factual. Send it from an address on your own domain where a reply can reach you.
After Pixeldrain acts, reopen the file URL. A removed file returns a not-found or removed page instead of the download. Confirm at the file URL itself, not the listing page, because the listing can stay up while pointing at a file that no longer exists.
Pixeldrain often holds the large, complete archive of a course, which makes it the file worth prioritizing. A listing site may show download counts in the hundreds against a single Pixeldrain file; removing that file is what stops the ongoing distribution, so we treat the host as the primary target and the listing as secondary.
Budget around 20 minutes for your first Pixeldrain notice, most of it spent tracing the file URL behind the listing. Then a recheck a few days later, and again whenever a reupload appears.
Delister traces the file behind each listing, files with the host and every listing carrying your course, and reports back when it is down, 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.
