People charging on itch for free assetts from here

I've been seeing people charge for assets on itch that they have lifted off this site. Here is an example I just found.
I've looked through his profile, and I don't recognize anything the way I did the Zoria tileset, but in less than a month he's posted a bunch of stuff. A few days ago I saw another upload from this site that someone was being charging for. Luckily someone already linked here in the comments.
Wondering what else I could do if I see this. Is there someone I report this to?
You can report the submission on itch.io (there's a button at the bottom of the page), and/or notify the original author here. They in turn could decide to submit a DMCA takedown request, also via itch.
To be clear, the issue is not that they are selling the assets. That's scummy, but not actually illegal. The problem is that they have not attributed the original author, as required by the CC-BY license.
Ooh! 404'd!
