Like pirates they too have started relying on hash files to find copyrighted material. Those who act for copyright holders have also learnt that relying on file names is often not the best way to find copyrighted material. This often protects the tutorial from being taken down as it would not overtly mentioning how to download copyrighted material. In fact, in a lot of pirate tutorials, copyrighted material is often referred to using the euphemism Linux ISOs. Sometimes in a bid to hide from copyright holders, pirates intentionally mislabel files.
So what could have gone wrong? I don’t know for sure but I can speculate. They even have official torrent files that you can use and it seems that this user was using these official files. In fact, Ubuntu itself encourages people to download Ubuntu using torrents. This means that anyone is free to distribute it even using torrents. What went wrongĪnyone who knows anything about Linux will tell you that Ubuntu like most distros is Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). Never mind the fact that this was actually material promoting the official Udemy site itself. The bots employed by representatives of Udemy happened upon our articles on Udemy and instantly flagged the content as infringement.
Not so long ago Techzim itself discovered that it had been accused by Udemy of pirating its works. This is where problems crop up because often these third parties struggle to differentiate between legitimate and illegal use of copyrighted works. Often though, the artists and creators usually lack the skills and knowledge to use such tools and so it is common practice on the internet to pawn off this task to third party specialists. It will not be able to stop all cases of infringement but it should be enough to make it difficult for those who are profiting from your work to do so openly and with such ease. This is a cheap and easy way to protect your copyrighted work. One favourite method that copyright holders are now turning to is automated monitoring and enforcement. The internet is so vast and in that big dark sea, just like in times past, modern pirates have continued to thrive as copyright holders continue to struggle to find ways to bring them to heel. Specifically, the man was accused of illegally downloading a copy of the Ubuntu Operating system in ISO format. He received an email from Comcast telling him they knew the man had been using his internet connection to illegally download copyrighted content. Recently a United States man who uses the services of popular internet service provider Comcast got the shock of his life.
