So does this mean that they believe that Udemy has safe harbor? I thought the consensus was that they do not. IANAL, but I don't think DMCA was meant for people directly selling IP for money and taking a cut and more for just content hosting providers.

It probably doesn't, since it has a "direct financial benefit" from the content (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Copyright_Infringement_...)
However, if it refunds all the money from the infringing class and removes the video promptly, maybe it can successfully argue that it is not gaining financially from the infringing content?
