Warning. The report button is what the EU DOESN'T WANT.

With this new rules, the EU want that the big copyright owners, check the products BEFORE the upload/public page. If they say "ok, you can pass",  the service provider (itch) can show it. This is the big problem. Or the service provider have to use an IA system. This is the law (saddly).

Your mistaken youtube big money robots to "what the law actually says":

"Information society service providers that store and provide to the public access to large amounts of works or other subject-matter uploaded by their users shall, in cooperation with rightholders, take measures to ensure the functioning of agreements concluded with rightholders for the use of their works or other subject-matter or to prevent the availability on their services of works or other subject-matter identified by rightholders through the cooperation with the service providers"

What this means is that copyright owners must have an easy way to contact the site owner. No more "click this but also this" kind of madness. This also means no more sites that do not respond to email of copyright owner like APK-Pure does. No more finding the site server like godaddy to remove the site.

I know what they are talking about because my own games have been stolen and I face the same problem. This law gives us power over the scammers. The only reason why every news media said memes or other stuff you or me do not own are a bad thing is because it also says to give as much information for the copyright owners. This is why I suggest the credit system like newgrounds to give much information before people  uploaded works that do not belong to them.

Also companies have bots that can find all disney, marvel, anime, etc looking around the net 24/7 . So it is impossible to hide anything from them.
