You are not entitled to anything on their platform, and this seems like an honest attempt to combat piracy (which actually protects content creators such as yourself).
Yes, I am entitled to something with their platform, they make a lot of money from my content. A contract is formed, terms and conditions are agreed upon. Mail order law must be upheld. They have every right to combat privacy, but do it responsibly.
Why delete the course at all? A simple email saying "Hey, send us your id so we can verify you" would have been fine and done the trick completely. Give me 24-48 hours to comply before you delete the entire course and screw up a year's worth of work and marketing effort.
That would be an honest attempt to combat piracy. What they did was reckless.
It's an inconvenience, I'll give you that.
What are you talking about?
