50 hrs course pirated! Legal action against the pirator (already known)?

2 weeks before I uploaded my course (50 hours) and kept it private for the first week to give some special discounts for my blog website premium members.

Last week I made the course from public - private and still my course in review.

But today I received an email from one of my student that someone is selling my course for half the price by sharing the Google drive link to download!!

I did some investigation myself and played the role of purchaser and got more details about the pirator who is selling my course, including all his phone number as well as the social media profiles. ( he was my premium whom I allowed with discount). Now I know the person behind it.

I am wondering what will be the next best action? Any advice from the fellow instructors.

Any legal action can we take against this guy!! Can Udemy help on this?
