    Default Video Without my permission

    Hi ladies, I apologize if this is a duplicate type thread. One of my customers just said they bought a video from my cam site, I work through streamate & live cam.

    Thing is, I never authorized this video being put up, and haven't seen a cent for it. Has anyone else encountered this? I don't know how to view my videos or take them down, none of it. Frankly, I'm a bit panicked. The customer said it was a good video, but I'm not sure what it is other than a gold show.

    Any insight you could provide with your experiences or what you know on the topic would be REALLY appreciated.

    .....So not only do they take a huge cut of 65% of earnings but sell recorded videos that the models don't get any payment from? That is, in my own opinion, ridiculous.

    And yet they have all these issues I keep hearing about but seem to be banking so they should have no issues with tech support and being there for their models who are making them money so wtf?! That makes me not want to proceed in giving them a shot at all.

    I'm very surprised cam models haven't created their own adult webcam site by now with the crap they seem to deal with from these types of companies. An adult webcam site created by webcam models...sounds like a pretty awesome idea.

    It's in the agreement you sign before signing up somewhere that they will record you sometimes for advertising on sites like I think it's redtube or imjasminlive. It's suppose to bring you more customers.

    ^^^ it essentially boils down to who actually owns the copyright to your webcam images and videos. Often, webcam host 'terms of service' transfers copyright ownership of subsequent webcam streams and recorded videos to the webcam host. This in turn allows the webcam host to use that material for other purposes without requiring additional permission from the camgirl. This can also make it difficult for a camgirl acting on her own to get such material removed from tube sites etc. which are 'silent partners' of her webcam host.

    This came up before and yes, cam sites will sell your shows and you get nada. I thought that was some bullshit too. Plus it's one thing to cam but that doesn't mean you want yourself plastered all over porn sites. I seriously don't get camming for big sites. Granted working in a SC you get 20-60% of your money taken in fees but this is just beyond and abusive. Totes not fair.

    Yup. I wish SM could do the same as Cams. Cams gives small percentage whenever guys watch the video.

    That is the right way to treat the models who are - essentially - working their asses off which in turns gives you profit at the end of the day.

    Yup. This is the exact position I'm in. I noticed the video at the end of August and I've been emailing with SM the last week asking them to remove the video option from my profile. The idea that this is supposed to drive traffic to me is insane. Why in the world is my new potential customer going to spend $5.99 a minute when they can buy a 7+ minute video for $3? It sucks.

    I also found 2 videos of me on another website. Contacted SM and they refuse to take them down. It's insane how much SM is fucking me over right now. I wish nothing more than to be rid of them as soon as I can manage it.

    This is probably the result of a 'silent partner' relationship. Also, even if you stop camming in the future, if the webcam host owns the copyright they can still continue to provide and share your recorded videos.

    My guess would be yes.......since they are our profile then anyone that can see the profile would be able to purchase them.

    That is just a guess though. You do ask an interesting question.

    Posted this in the SM thread too but here:

    Update: Liz replied to my email about the video on my SM profile.

    "I'll remove it.

    just so you know those only record if you stream and do not turn on the HD encoder. as long as you are streaming with that they will not record."

    So, they do it as like a punishment for not using the encoder?! Anyway. Hopefully it gets removed ASAP. Ugh!
