Re: PLEASE HELP READ streamate is selling a video of me during one of my privates???
This should not be any surprise to anyone
You signed up for this when you agreed to be a model for streamate.
What you signed the model release for them and not read it.
Streamate and can and will if they feel like it use your feed, photos you upload to them and videos for their benefit.
You basically give streamate and any and all of their affiliate permission to use your image.
and don't think because you clicked for geo-blocking that this will stop from happening your still on the streamate network and you still agreed for them to use your image as they see fit.

Any input or advise would be great.
I wonder if I need to make a SM profile to go see this as a "customer".....>:(
What you need to do is contact streamate
If these are on your profile page it must be a mistake unless they are doing another beta test and history is known to repeat itself.
I say this bc I was told via email a few years ago that this feature was no longer available, it was a beta test that never took off.

Hey listen ladies, I've asked Liz about this and she says to contact her personally with the site name those videos are sold on. Provide as much detail as possible.
SM does not define what their affiliates can do well enough but that doesn't mean they can do anything they want
Re: PLEASE HELP READ streamate is selling a video of me during one of my privates???
THIS is exactly the reason why I hesitated for a year to make a Streamate account. And the fact that I will wear a wig for this website with a fringe that hides about half of my features and makes me look like another person. + a completely different cam username than I have on Chaturbate. Security first!

I realize this is from last year but does this mean they're not in fact supposed to be reselling our private shows? Now I'm confused

Years ago my images where use in the moneytree program for streamate under ebony models. that was maybe 2005 ish I discovered it we are now rolling into 2018 and Yes my face is still the banner for ebony models for streamate moneytree program. I submitted to a bunch of webcam model blogs for interviews and they used that banner.
Now with streamate offering us to upload videos on our profile where can make money that should make things interesting. because in the past if you had a customer account you would be able to see any videos from your private shows in your bio page.
Then we have white labels and tube sites out there getting content from our feeds and using it within their contract with streamate or they are an affiliate for some type of ad network program.
Streaming gives a lot of people access to our feeds some feeds let people take snapshot photos and there are way more screen-capture software out there then before.
The best way to keep up with this and use it to your advantage is to make sure you have your internet real estate in place. your model name, and social media name, and yes set up a self hosted blog with your model name. So you can maximize people googling or using some other search function to find your name and see your content.
The more active you are around promoting and marketing your content, the more likely fans will be able to visit your website over some affiliate link / ad network website.
This goes for making content in your model name for adult content stuff, and then if you are on top of this making your model name easily to cross over to other niches online that you could be interested in like reviewing sex toys, making a relationship and lifestyle blog etc.
The internet is huge and there are plenty of places for you to make money in, so stop letting the affiliates and ad networks take more piece of the pie.

No, neither affiliates nor SM are allowed to sell your private shows.
The rule is very simple. Affiliates can screen cap and record anything they can get without logging into SM. This can include picking your nose in public chat, free preview videos (if that's a thing), profile and pics, etc. It does not allow them to record your gold shows or privates/exclusives or sell them.
Your image can only be used in the context of advertising for Streamate. It cannot be cropped out and used for someone's convention advertising or phone sex ad, for example.
In theory, turning on Geo-Blocking will prevent entirely an affiliate using your content, as he would need to be logged in to see you. Streamate can also randomly use your image for advertising, but ignores geo-block. You must write them specifically to opt out.
Scammers have been able to talk models into hijacking their feeds, giving them 24 hour access to your stream to record or do what they want - do not enable your "external shows" for anyone without good reason.
Re: PLEASE HELP READ streamate is selling a video of me during one of my privates???
They come to your room and admit that they buy your videos for $2-$3? Tell those cheapasses to tip you then as tribute and if they don't ignore the fuck out of them/ kick them/ ban them. I've had people tell me this- cool, you got to see my goods. But if you're coming in my room just to tell me that sort of shit and not spend your own cash on me, you can gtfo. Wanna talk about what you saw in the video? Good, take me pvt and let's talk about it. Want to give me compliments? Put that in the tip note. I don't have time to talk to freeloaders and broke asses and my regulars don't have time for that shit either.
People don't wanna tip $2.50 for a flash but wanna come to your room to chat all day about how they bought videos you weren't paid for. Yeah. have fun watching my porn over and over and knowing that you ain't shit to me lololol. Then when they jerk off to my video they'll have that sadness in the back of they head that their broke ass got rejected and they'll never get a show or convo with me because they can't afford me! I'm sure they'll enjoy the show of me saying "Mike"'s name and not "brokeass"! mwahahaha

Doesn't mean it's ok... We just don't have any other options at the moment (besides not camming at all or just full indie). I ran a studio back in 1999 for several years, back then they were actual physical studios where the girls came to the location.
I had the investors provide me with a lawyer and I made sure there was a legit contract/model release which indicated that once the contract was terminated none of their content would be used. It IS possible to have a legal contract without having to give up all rights to your own content. The industry has just gotten greedy and because there is enough models/performers willing to go with it, there is no reason to offer an alternative.
But yes, as of the present moment, if you are on SM and agreed to their terms, that's what it says, they pretty much own all your content.
I hear they are pretty agreeable if you message them and opt out.
What's sad is that even these indie pay places such as indiebill require you to sign away all of your content on any platform you may have, present OR future.
