Clampdown
Course creators & eLearning teams

Your course is being resold for five dollars.

A pirated course is a folder, not a file, so it spreads across group-buy sites, Telegram dumps, and reseller listings at once. Clampdown chases every piece of it.

The threats

How courses gets taken

Group-buy and reseller sites

Your program is bundled with a hundred others and sold for the price of a coffee, often ranking for your own course name.

Telegram dumps

Full video folders, workbooks, and templates are dropped into channels with thousands of members and mirrored elsewhere within a day.

Document-sharing uploads

Students upload your worksheets and slide decks to study sites to unlock free material, putting paid content behind a search result.

'Free download' SEO spam

Thin pages built around your course name plus 'free download' capture the searches your sales page should own.

Where it spreads

The surfaces we watch for courses, and the ones copies usually pass through on the way to a search result.

  • Group-buy forums
  • Telegram channels
  • Course Hero & Studocu
  • Udemy-style reseller listings
  • File hosts
  • Torrent indexes
  • YouTube full-course uploads
  • Free-download SEO pages
  • Discord servers
How we protect it

What Clampdown does about it

The parts of the loop that matter most for this medium.

  1. 01

    Bundle-aware detection

    Video, PDFs, and templates are tracked as one course, so a partial leak is recognized as your material and not missed.

  2. 02

    Search-first removals

    The pages that outrank your sales page get delisted, which removes the traffic even where a host is slow to act.

  3. 03

    Marketplace reports

    Reseller listings are reported through each platform's IP program with the evidence they require to remove a seller.

  4. 04

    Channel tracking

    Telegram and Discord distribution points are tracked across runs, so repeat operators escalate rather than reset.

Frequently asked questions

Can you get listings off group-buy sites?
Many respond to a properly filed notice, and the ones that ignore it can still be removed from search results. We work both routes in parallel.
What about students uploading my worksheets?
Study sites like Course Hero and Studocu honor DMCA notices and usually remove per document. We file them as a grouped claim, which processes faster than separate submissions.
Does this work for a membership or cohort program?
Yes. Ongoing programs are monitored continuously rather than as a one-off scan, so new modules are covered as you publish them.
