Re: Something camgirls need to see
I used to watermark my images but it did nothing. These days, I have been makign it a LOT more obvious. It's a bit of work if they want to sit there and edit it, or .. promote me and Streamate. If it's Streamate doing it, I'm SOL though. I'll sue if I find my content on any of those sites. The gov't is all too happy to take those type of sites down. Piracy is not as mainstream as it used to be. Hiding in different countries now, many still exist in the U.S., under monikers and servers outside the U.S. to hide their actual location. You know, so people don't bother to try and sue them or think they wouldn't be able to afford to. Good luck finding these low life pieces of shit. It's looking like a new trend has emerged with *new* websites ripping off their hosts, as well. Nice industry we're in, huh?
In any case, here's what I do (the ball is photoshopped in. Not sure if we're permitted to show the kitty here (nor do I feel the need to LOL)...
Actually, I am referring to VIDS and not pics. Pics are too easy to edit. I could do it in a heartbeat myself. I can just imagine what these scumbags can do. Video = not so easy.

Re: Something camgirls need to see
Oh and I have a clacker with "Streamate.com" and "amanda36c" written on it, so I rotate views for the scumbags, causing more work. Edit that! I doubt this will stop them but at least it slows them down.

Re: Something camgirls need to see
that is the perfect idea, Amanda. I always think of doing the same thing...
there is no way they can edit 25 % of the right upper corner .. LOL
I guess they would edit it and.. place a...whatever over that,... but thats alot of work I guess...
Re: Something camgirls need to see
Bastards!!! These guys have nothing better to do then spend their time recorder girls online, edit and crop and whatnot our pictures then go on to the forums and post our shit there. Losers!
Re: Something camgirls need to see
i seen another thread where they had big pictures of girls up from various websites, with big bold font that said, "COMING SOON!!", like it's just's the movies or something, i just got sick to my stomach, i also seen a video where a girl had a watermark on her feed and they actually took their time to block it out, as someone said above, it is the risk we take being webcam models but it still pisses me off seeing those forums.
oh and i also seen this guy say that since he paid for the private show, he can legally do whatever he wants to do with them, which is not true, i only think that applies to actual clips that you sale, if even those. I don't know if i'm completely right but no matter what, i will still continue to cam and just try to use a pure white background from now on and not show my face as much in pvt shows, this isn't going to stop me because the money is too good:)
Re: Something camgirls need to see
I dunno, I didn't look at all of them but it seems they are targeting the girls on MFC who are showing off for tips and an occasional SM gold show (the tattoo'd girl does $1 gold shows all the time). When I look at who is posting the majority of the videos I don't imagine he is actually paying for any of it but more like just an opportunist snatching free grabs.
Someone who is spending their monies in private chat is less likely to post them around these types of forums although he may record it for his own personal collection.
I have been camming for a little over a year and have never found any of my pics or vids anywhere but then, I don't show anything in free chat, I don't work for tips and very rarely do I do gold shows. I pretty much only do pvt chat and at premium rates.
Re: Something camgirls need to see
I think one of the most satisfying moments of my life was when I wound up in one of these forums by searching my name because a guy wanted a very specific show I had done. I had advertised this shows for a good month or so before hand and fifteen people had signed up. A couple guys responded by saying they couldn't find it. Some of them even went so far as mentioning that they had asked the guys who had bought a ticket if they had recorded it, and of the guys who had gone into the show none of them had recorded it (or least none were willing to give it away to the guys asking). So don't lose too much hope ladies, for every douche bag recording our shows, there are good customers who don't trade us like pieces of meat.
Also fun fact I learned from carefully reading copyright laws in America. If you ever do find a video of you and when you ask to have it taken down the person hems and haws for over forty-eight hours, or else asks for proof that it is you in the video, you 1) Don't have to give it and 2) You can immediately slap him with a law suit. When it comes to file sharing sites and forums,the burden of proof falls on the sites on proving that they either own the video or have express written permission from the owner of it. I found this out when I found myself on a tube site and when I asked them to take it down they demanded to see some government issued form of ID, a written note that I wanted this taken down, and a handwritten sign with my face in it saying I was who I was.
One more thing. The laws are slightly murky when it comes to who owns the video right from a cam session, whether its you or the customer, but they do clearly state that even if the customer owns that particular video, he/she is not allowed to share it in anyway (this include screenshots) without your express written permission granting him/her the right to do so.
Re: Something camgirls need to see
Okay that is some helpful information, i did see the entire thread on mfc girls and im glad i don't work there or at streamate because alot of them give public or cheap gold shows. When i was referring to the guy that said he had the right to do what he wanted with the vids, he was talking about a f4f VOD, that's why i stopped working that site because those models are literally EVERYWHERE on the internet since their VOD's are cheaper than a normal pvt show on the site. But i work on livejasmin now, i love it because it's ones of the sites that i almost never see posted all over the internet for their pvt shows.
Re: Something camgirls need to see
Actually, I have a few placements where the Streamate.com and Amanda36c appear and I rotate views, putting my head, hands, boobs, etc. in the way of the sign frequently. This works like a charm. Yes, I know about cam editing (do it all the time myself) and it isn;t very hard at all to cover the top right corner of the screen. It is, however, very hard for them, the way I do it. You'd have to see it in action. I chose a pic where I was moved out of the way of the sign on purpose, to show where the sign is. Anyway, more than I needed to explain. lol This works awesome for me!
