Telegram -- Unauthorized Distribution of Educational Content

Telegram remains one of the most challenging platforms for intellectual property enforcement due to its channel-based structure and rapid content replication.

In December 2025, Pellonia identified an unauthorized Telegram channel with over 3000 subscribers distributing proprietary educational materials belonging to a company specializing in English language instruction. The channel provided free access to paid learning resources, directly infringing the rights holder's intellectual property and undermining its business model.

Pellonia conducted a comprehensive review of the channel, verified the ownership of the educational materials, and prepared a formal infringement submission in accordance with Telegram's copyright and IP policies.

Despite the challenges of the holiday season, including Christmas closures and a general overload of work during this period, a patient and sustained follow-up was necessary to navigate platform enforcement delays.

Outcome: The infringing Telegram channel was successfully taken down, terminating public access to the unauthorized materials.

If your educational content is being shared through Telegram channels without authorization, Pellonia can assist with effective enforcement and channel removal.

Google Drive -- Illegal Hosting of Copyrighted Academic Materials

Cloud storage services are frequently misused to host and distribute copyrighted files via publicly accessible links. Such misuse enables rapid and uncontrolled dissemination of protected content.

During December 2025, Pellonia identified multiple instances where client's copyrighted academic materials were uploaded to Google Drive and shared publicly without permission.

Our team verified ownership rights, documented the infringing file links, and submitted formal copyright infringement notices under Google's DMCA procedures. Particular care was taken to ensure accuracy and completeness, as improper submissions can delay or prevent removal.

Outcome: The infringing Google Drive files were removed, and public access to the copyrighted materials was disabled.

Pellonia regularly assists rights holders in removing unlawfully shared files from cloud storage platforms.

OK.ru -- Unauthorized Video Distribution

Video-hosting platforms continue to be a primary source of copyright infringement, especially for educational and professional content.

In December 2025, Pellonia identified unauthorized uploads of client's educational videos on OK.ru, a platform where pirated academic materials are frequently re-posted.

Pellonia gathered evidence of infringement, submitted copyright complaints in line with platform requirements, and engaged in follow-up communications to ensure enforcement.

Outcome: The infringing videos were blocked due to copyright infringement, as confirmed by the platform.

This action significantly reduced unauthorized access to client's materials.

YouTube -- Removal of Infringing Educational Videos

YouTube remains one of the most influential platforms for educational content distribution, making copyright enforcement particularly important.

During the reporting period, Pellonia identified multiple YouTube videos that reproduced client's copyrighted content without authorization. These uploads competed directly with the rights holder's licensed and official content.

Pellonia submitted formal copyright takedown requests supported by ownership documentation and source verification, in compliance with YouTube's legal and procedural standards.

Outcome: The infringing videos were removed, restoring exclusivity and control to the rights holder.

Pellonia provides ongoing YouTube enforcement services, including repeat infringement monitoring.

Instagram -- Account Enforcement and Removal

Social media platforms, like Instagram are increasingly used to distribute copyrighted content, impersonate brands, or redirect users to infringing sources.

In this month, Pellonia investigated two Instagram accounts engaged in unauthorized use and distribution of copyrighted materials. Specifically, the accounts were illegally sharing premium course content from two of our clients: both a provider of academic personal skills courses personal development training, while using usernames designed to impersonate our clients' official brand accounts. Following verification, an intellectual property infringement report was submitted to the platform.

Outcome: The infringing Instagram profiles for both clients' content became unavailable, indicating account removal or suspension due to IP violations.
