    Default Bongacams has some explaining to do

    I am completely shocked at what I have just found, it is literally one of the shadiest things I have seen a camsite do in my 3 years as a cam model. I don't know if there are any reps of Bongacams with an account on these forums, but if any of you know this please mention them in a reply so that I know they read this.

    Today I receive this email from one of my regulars:

    email copy.jpg

    I click on the link and I find a website with all the videos I sell with my full real name and my contact information on the description (phone number, city I live in, personal blog URL). I look around the site and realize that even though it looks like a porntube, it is actually a site devoted to posting "premium" videos of camgirls (videos that models sell, say, in ManyVids) and in some videos they have shared the models legal information on the info section of the videos like they did with me.

    So I try to look at their removal policy to get the videos taken down. But their DMCA policy is designed to cause even more damage to any naive models who might actually believe it. And it is illegal as well. They want the model to take a picture of her face holding a sign that reads "I AM MILA FOR xxxxxx.com" They ask to be sent this in order to "identify" the person. There used to be a website with the same policy and they actually used these pictures to further humiliate and out the models on social media.

    I told my DMCA agent to contact them anyway just to try to take it down with civility. He sent a formal DMCA take down notice about a week ago, but they never replied. So I started to try and figure out how they keep this site running that is hurting so many girls. There are two issues at play, first is the piracy issue. This isn't just a run of the mill Upstore site. They aren't just sharing recordings of your live shows. They actually find ManyVids videos and videos that the models actually sell and upload them to their website. And then they sometimes also add any information that they can dig up from models. They have posted the full legal name and address of a very popular top 20 MFC girl, among others.

    This is also a massive site. They have classified the videos by camsite so they are easy to browse or search, and they have thousands of videos. Which is a very expensive thing to do. Not everyone can keep something like this going because streaming video is very expensive. Guess who is paying for this?

    Bongacams is. The banner on their site is a Bongacams banner. Bongacams is sponsoring this person, paying him to drive traffic to their site. So this piece of shit is receiving money from Bongacams to doxx girls and steal their videos. If Bongacams wasn't paying this site money, he wouldnt be able to run his site. You might think "well, if Bongacams doesn't pay him someone else will" but no serious sponsor would ever sponsor a site like this. Serious sponsors don't pay companies who engage in illegal activities.

    But it seems like Bongacams doesn't care about legalities, camgirls, their safety, or people pirating their content. It isn't like there aren't millions of websites they can get traffic from. Do they really have to sponsor the site that is actively damaging girls? Before anyone asks, here is how I know it is a Bongacams banner:

    bongacamsiframesource.jpg

    I am not about to share the name of the site publicly here because my full name and other information is up there. But I am willing to give Bongacams the benefit of the doubt and assume that this was an honest mistake. If Bongacams wants to correct this they need to cancel his affiliate account and stop sponsoring him. His affiliate account number is: 300875 If Bongacams wants the URL of the website they can PM me here, I am sure they know the website I am talking about since they have to actually pay him, and they know where they are receiving traffic from, but PM me if there are any doubts.

    This is also for all my fellow models to read and if anyone is considering working on Bongacams please give it a second thought as they are currently sponsoring the worst site on the internet, a company that is actively doxxing girls. If they don't care to damage camgirls in this way how can you trust them with all your personal information like full name, passport, bank account info, etc? Please be careful!

    I am really sorry this happened to you (and to other models as well). Recently a representative of this site approached me on Skype to register as a model there, but I didn't really liked their policy, thus I've read on the forum many not too good things and I didn' reply to their proposal. I wish you can solve this problem ASAP and other ladies read this post so as to avoid similar troubles...

    Have you emailed bongacams and mentioned this to them to see what they say?

    Yes, I have emailed both the website and Bongacams, and I also had my lawyer send the website a formal DMCA and to contact Bongacams explaining the situation. I also posted this on another forum where there are Bongacams reps. They haven't acknowledged any of it.

    I found the site,ooks like they saw your ACF post. The site like looks like its been up for a few years, it sucks but it doesn't seem like they would take the videos down. Definitely for those unfamiliar, never send DMCA requests to personal email addresses and definitely don't give them your real information.

    If they are posting manyvid content, I would contact MV. So they can get their lawyers on him too.


    I would also have your lawyer send a DMCA to their host too: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en...ries/200275308

    How did they get the personal info? Is Bonga providing that info to affiliates? Kinda sounds like they're getting content for resale on content sites. It's a possibility.

    I have never given Bongacams my information so it is highly unlikely they are involved in this. My information was outed on an anonymous board a couple of years ago, but I managed to remove that information when it happened. I am really surprised that it got reposted now after all this time and that they somehow found my address though because that is new. Still what I meant with "be careful" is that if Bongacams doesnt care about this they wont spend much money or effort keeping your information secure on their site either.

    Their server is quasinetworks, its a bulletproof server in the Seychelles. They dont take anything down, its the same people that host another infamous site of this nature. But I will contact MV, thats a really good idea.

    Okay guys, everything has been straightened out. I believe Bongacams wasn't replying simply because of Labor Day Weekend. My attorney received this email from one of the people in Bongacams he contacted:

    bongacamsrep.jpg

    So I checked the site and the Bongacams banner is gone so his affiliate account was terminated.

    And the website owner must have realized I was serious because he eliminated all my videos:

    So it seems like Bongacams does care about this in the end. I am just happy it is over.

    Hello, Milarky!

    Thank you for pointing out the problem. As soon as we got your email all the BongaCams promo was deleted from the website you mentioned above.
    We would like to highlight that all personal and contact information of the models is completely confidential and not available to the third parties. BongaCams cares about the models and they can ask for assistance from the BongaCams lawyer in case they face the problem of their broadcasts recorded without their permission.

    Please feel free to contact BongaCams Support Team if you have any questions. They will be happy to help you and solve your issue in short time.

    Thank you.

    I have seen the name "theporndude" quite often. He runs a lot of sites, where a lot of pirated material is to be found. I am not sure if it's the guy or the users who spread the copyright violations, but I think it's the same mechanism as everywhere else.

    Like all big tube sites host tons of pirated material, but if you ask them about it, they are against it and take it down. On the other hand, they probably don't mind hosting the material as long as no DMCA claim is coming in, as it gives them more free content.
