    Default Watermarking Thoughts....

    I constantly question myself about whether or not to watermark my videos/pictures but I never seem to come to a conclusion so thought I would see what you ladies think....please no rude comments...im just looking for insightful opinions on my thoughts and am quite happy to say that sometimes the obvious just doesnt come naturally to me.
    So, of course I thought watermarking my vids/pics was a good idea, purely for the fact that if/when I was to get uploaded to sites without my knowing, my signature would be on it and they would be able to find me. But there are a couple of pointers that keep going back and forth in my head.

    1. If someone I know IRL were to find a video/picture of me and it had a watermark, they would instantly know my cam name/twitter and be able to find me, whereas if it didnt have a watermark, they potentially be none the wiser and thats as far as it would go.
    2. Alot of the time, when you are uploaded to sites, they include your cam name on it anyway (In the title, tagged or what have you). Yes I realize this semi-contradicts point number 1.
    3. It wouldnt be hard to remove a watermark from a video/picture if they really wanted to.
    4. I personally dont use a watermark on my stream as it screws with my quality too much, when I was working on SM it was just me on the screen. So in the instance you dont use a watermark on your feed, you could potentially be capped......with no trace of who you are.
    5. Some sites you can have your twitter watermark on your content-which is my main watermark, but for some sites you can only have evidence of yourself leading back to that website in particular-for example MGF, so would need to make several edits of a video with different watermarks.

    Personally, im really not that bothered about watermarking my stuff. Its just not a big deal to me, but there may be something I am overlooking. Is there anyone else who is not bothered by it? Or who doesnt watermark their content at all?

    Hopefully this has all made sense, I find it quite hard to type out what I have going on in my head. If anyone has any thoughts/opinion or advice to head me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated!

    I have watermarked every piece of my work since my first day and honesty feel the best thing I every heard , in respect to camming, was water mark your feed. I have no clue what would happen if I never did but I never worry about stolen content. 1. because tube site or less likely to upload it 2. if it should happen every one knows where to find me. I hate marketing personally so I would send a thank you note for the favour.
    and 3, I have come across a site, im sure there is more then one, where they sell cam models/couples vids claiming that they broke in to your house or angry boyfriends submits them whatever, either ways they cant sell my shit for profit that watermark is a big fuck up.

    The problem these days is NOT tubesites. the problem is those file-sharing sites, where the pirate uploads an image of your video and then provides a link to download it from somewhere like Rapidshare. i have never been on a tubesite but im all over those sites that men created especially to share camgirls and nothing else. as a non nude model i am not even naked in those videos, yet they still upload me.

    when it comes to my opinion on watermarking, i say dont put ur cam name on it. put something else on it. forexample, if u name is JennyCumSlut19 then dont put that in ur watermark. instead, make urself a tumblr account and call it JensTumblr176 or something, then watermark the video with u tumblr address. then u still own the rights to the video, yet if some1 u did know, saw it, they would check out the tumblr page, on the tumblr page u should fill it with cute pics of bunnies and not mention anything about urself or camming. leading him to a dead end. obviously u could use other free webpages other than tumblr.

    btw watermarking doesnt deter cappers whatsoever, i see girls pirated videos and livestreams everywhere and they still have the "COPYRIGHT OF 'NAME'" wrote on um. they dnt care bout copyrights cos ppl ignore dmca's these days, and they register their sites in countries what the dmca law doesnt apply and shit like that.
