The cardinal rule of the internet is that if it can be copied, it gets copied, whether it’s a song, a video, a picture, a computer program, a poem, or even a viral tweet. The internet has known a lot of piracy, but this is the first time I’ve ever heard of an online course being pirated. Troy Hunt—a security researcher who also teaches “Ethical Hacking: Hacking Web Applications” on Udemy’s rival site Pluralsight—is not the only one. (His course was copied so extensively that the copycat instructor’s “name” on Udemy was “Roy Hunt”). Rob Conery, who teaches a Javascript course on Pluralsight, also reported being copied. Jeffrey Way also encountered infringement back in October.
