I am bothered by the way of doing the owner of the site and whoever manages it.
It is correct to pay a fee to the author usually 70% to the author and 30% to the publisher.
Any such author-publisher split still requires a legal agreement.

The lawyer will have to sue the owner of the site by sending him a letter and for information to the hosting website, this could already suspend the site or offline.
Then he will have to send the letter for information also to the Italian postal police who have the task of monitoring computer fraud and the like.
The complaint letter must be sent to the court and police post of the same city where the hosting is based. If you mention hosting, they will immediately take action to defend themselves against the site owner.

the fact is that, knowing the Italians, when you go to the postal police to say: they stole my porn game from me; for sure then they will also check you and the site where you had it for sale (patreon) so you have to have your back covered and be in good standing before taking a lawsuit or it will backfire.

Mr. Dots, Dr. Pink Cakes and the WMV are being sold on there. They have the deepest pockets of all devs on here. It'd be nice if they would lead the charge.

You're a class act for offering. I hope other devs join you and you guys crush them like a bug!

Hello ~ Every developer , i have a very good idea can counter that , want to tell everyone ,
Watermark! add the watermark to every pictures every screen , and all at different position
some are obvious , some not obvious to see , some hide and hard to find ,
they need to find and remove all watermarks , that's can give them a big works and harder to do.

What's to stop him from making his own "watermark" and using it to stamp over the dev's? But I don't think watermarks would deter him at all. He'd still sell it.

Video ok, but images is very hard because photoshop can help to erase watermak.

If you make your game shitty, Italian pirate won't sell it. Ya'll over here playing checkers while I'm playing 4D-Chess.
Your game is far from shitty though...
Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure the games they aren't selling yet, will soon be added to the collection...
(Unless somebody can stop them)

It was posted on page 2 but contacting the website hosting provider would probably be the fastest solution.
