Italian website selling porn games and claiming to own the copyright for them

[Waldo666]

Smokeydot's High Rise Climb has been translated into "Big money". Certainly a suitable title as the italian mafiosi of this site sell it for 8€

 

[E-Dog]

If they sold just a translation patch, it'd be reasonable. But no, they are selling those games as if those were theirs.
I am unsure on the juridical qualification of such an act, but it might fall under certain italian criminal laws protecting intellectual property.

It's possible that there is the possibility of asking the authority for the telecommunications to take down the site as a precautionary measure, but I need to look into it further to check if it's them you need to ask or the judge.

There are international laws as well that the EU and member nations must abide by. U should be able to sue them here.

 

[Game Reviewer]

Damn thats tough
Dont worry there is something called
KARMA in this world

 

[Game Reviewer]

Try encouraging people on that site to not support the one who falsely claims the game that its their own

Or maybe hire an italian translator to work for your game so other people will not claim it

You can sue them, that's not even up to debate. What I was saying is that there is a special process through which you can get the competent authority to take down the site without going to trial, which takes a lot of time and money to reach that result.
Unfortunately, you can make said request only via a form on their site and it requires a PEC email address, which is a paid service and, as far as I know, requires to be residing in Italy.

In a couple of days a new game should be up (I have no clue who those characters are):

That's the Mom and the Aunt from F.I.L.F .

 

[Winterfire]

The only positive thing about making games that barely anyone likes is that I am certain no one will steal my stuff

 

[darlic]

I still think my idea, although not perfectly lawful, is the most viable way to deal with this situation...

On a side note, Italian courts are known worldwide for their slowness. Contacting Agcom and/or Securion sounds more viable, imo.

A lot of us, maybe a dozen or more, have contacted Securion. Nobody has gotten an email back yet.

What is your idea? If it's illegal, don't do it.

 

[Hones]

What is your idea? If it's illegal, don't do it.

I guess going off the post quoted below that Darlics idea is for the devs to take the offending sites translations and insert them into the games, so that no-one goes to the translators site to buy them anymore? But I don't think that would be a good idea it could just complicate matters if the devs want to do something along those lines it would be better to actually hire their own translators, that way everything is kept above board.

How did I manage to miss this hilarious thread is beyond my comprehension.

Now this is kind of a tough situation since it is difficult to send the whole matter to court (which court by the way, the European one?).
So that made me think: what about one of you guys with money to lose pays for a subscription, downloads the games and then send it back to their respective devs, which in turn will put the thoroughly translated (and presumably correct) version to their patreon page? This is the easiest, most effortless thing that can be done imho and, in a way, it's sort of a win-win situation, or to better say, a steal-steal situation. >

Just my 2 cents.

 

[darlic]

Yeah, that one. Just keep it as a last resort solution in case the whole court thing dissolves into nothingness...

Sure this is right, but we're talking about how to deal with this site the best way, not about hiring other people to do the same thing they already did...

Quickest/Easiest does not equate to best, stealing the translations and inserting them into the games could just complicate the legal issues which is why I suggested hiring their own translators, that would be the better option imo.
They could hire their own translators to create legitimate translations of their games
Have a lawyer send a cease & desist to the translation site
Sell their games with legitimate professional translations
Nobody needs to buy from the offending site anymore.

So, according to that now I can just download most of the stuff made by you guys here and change name of game/pic/character... Sad. I quess some people can't create their own work.

so basically that reads like there trying to say they now own the copyright to the games they are sharing , as they found it on free sites like F95 , so therefore it was free of copyright but anyone else is prohibited from reproducing it now as they claiming they own the intellectual property.

least that appears to be what there trying to claim now, which is a bunch of horse manure.

 

[katmandomo]

These guys are really shameless aren't they? I didn't pay for it so it must be in the public domain, but DON'T STEAL FROM US!!!

 

[Dars]
