What if some other website keep stealing chapters from here?

[Toti5292]

Hello,

I'm Toti5292 from the group scan responsible for the italian translation of "Alice in Borderland Retry".
There's this website (mangaworld.cc) that keep stealing my traductions (and some others) from MangaDex, without putting credits, links or anything.

I tried to contact them months ago, but they didn't respond.
I have three issues.
1) When the manga will be released here in Italy in its physical copy, I'd like to remove it from here (I want to support the author in this way). There's no way to delete current chapters from the other website, but are there any ways to preventing them to steal next chapters from now on?
2) I'd like to support the author by putting links to buy the original series in some pictures at the beginning/ending of the chapters (I found some websites of some stores that has the complete series available, it's very difficult to find it). That website removed one of my pictures that has nothing to do with the scans, so this'll not reach thousand people reading it from there.
3) What they did is simply wrong and I want them to stop.

Thank you for your attention.

@Toti5292
As long as it doesn't break rule 3.2.4 (Obtrusive watermarks are not allowed), you can put a message like "To read ONLY on MangaDex.org" in a similar format to the bottom of this page.

Most aggregators don't respect the wishes of the scanlators unfortunately, but the above method would at least ensure that some users migrate over from the aggregators in question, and do end up seeing the credit pages with info about official releases and such.

@bigtiddyoneesan thank you very much for these informations.

If there's no other way, then I'll try that for sure.

Multi-billion corporations like Amazon or Google can't prevent their content being stolen. Do you believe random site runned by 3-5 people can solve this problem?

In short, no. BzzBzz is completely right in the previous post. We'd be rolling in money if we could solve this issue.

Not to mention there's some inherent irony in worrying about scanlations being stolen when the raws had to come from somewhere, somehow.

@BzzBzz just asking here.

@Teasday well, I just want to let people know about a certain manga so that maybe we'll have it released in our country.
I already talked to some editors, I think that's the last step to boost it.
The problem is: I'll delete that manga once it'll be released... How about the other website?

Thank you for your replies anyway.

@Toti5292 Nothing we can do about them, and they're unlikely to delete chapters if they've been ripping them from MD in the first place. It's just something you've got to live with, unfortunately.

@BraveDude8 I understand, thank you for your reply.
