[Question] Course re-selling

[Diske]

I have stumble upon shit load of courses from Udemy, Coursera, Skill-Share etc. They are paid courses that I can download for free which is great, if you wanna learn something. My question is is there a way to sell those courses somehow?
I'm pretty sure that's illegal and unethical but what the heck.
I would like to hear your thoughts!

Just sell it, you need to make money

Heroin much?

Unethical yes but I'm not sure about the illegal part this one is kinda on the line. Depends on where you live.

No need to jump to an assumption, his preference could be crystal meth!

Well ye, all you need is someone who is willing to buy your stuff for a price lower than those of skillshare/udemy etc and a platform.

There are communities on discord for example where you can pay a small subscription (which obviously costs less than that of a skillshare or udemy course) to get access to a huge collection of courses. You can also find private forums and groups who do this. Usually on self hosted infrastructure.

I'm pretty sure that's illegal and unethical

This is piracy, and depending on where you live, it can be very illegal or not enforced at all.

It all depends on where you live. But in most countries, that's very much illegal, yeah. Passing on the unethical side of it, of course.

 

[Diske]

Well where I live the markets are always full of pirated software, games, movies etc.
And funny thing is that I never heard of anyone getting arrested for that.
When I hear of people going through VPNs to not get discovered for downloading pirated software it makes me laugh, since this is a pirate nation bonanza.

Although, I have red a few posts here about movie streaming websites which sounds kinda illegal as well, but I'm not sure.

And let's not talk about moral and ethical side of the story, I'm well aware of that..

This literally popped in my mind the second I discovered this gold mine.

*Edit
I have red the piracy law now, it's practically illegal if you make more than $12000 from it. I'm mind blown haha

I would consider investing the money in hookers and cocaine

Just reword it, so that it gets free of plagiarism and change all the graphs, etc and resell it. In that case, even legally, you will not have any copyright, etc issues. Because, multiple people can have the same idea or method and make their own guides for it. Change (rewrite, reword) everything, including pics, graphs, etc and ensure there is no plagiarism. Go ahead, much of internet marketing nowadays is blackhat, so play the game accordingly.
There are marketplaces selling stealth accounts, blackhat SEO, etc and they are no saints, remember that.

I would consider investing the money in hookers and cocaine not to sniff hookers

Repeat after me: "Do not sniff hookers!"

there exist a multitude of websites that are re-selling courses at -90% off. courses that you would not see leaked on the usual free resources. so yeah people are already doing this method.
only problem is finding the leads. most people take to reddit and telegram who don't have their own ranked e-com store.
i remember joining some influencer tg group chat last week and within 24h i had 2 people trying to sell me the pirated course for 90% off.
generally all you have to worry about is dmca. or if product owner is really mad i imagine they are in a position to litigate assuming youre in usa.

There is one way only:
1. Read the course
2. Understand
3. Make better course
4. Sell

ton of people do this tier 1 to tier 3.
best way = read the course,test it , earn money rewrite , and sell guide
Most people = read the course, scrap proof oline , rewrite sell
