    Default Trademark & Watermark

    I’m about to start camming, and am doing my research. Recently I’ve read a few comments on streams being recorded and distributed without model consent. One in particular to do with Steamate.

    This is is against the law. But there will always be asshole companies and people out there.

    Since Steamate is one of my preferred site to start on. I want to be very cautious.

    Is there other sites more trustworthy? Should a just bin Steamate?

    I’ve read that playing music in the background helps prevent it, is this true? I know some sites disallow music due to obvious copyright laws. Or is it that they want to easily steal streams on sly without issue...

    I’ve seen a few rooms that do play music.

    Also, can you watermark videos AND Streams with a registered/trademark name. I’m willing to legally do what need be if I can watermark videos...because if stolen it’s advertisement. Can’t find info if Steamate accepts this. I know AdultWork does with paperwork to back it up. (Correct me if I’m wrong.)

    If possible are there sites who do accept watermarks? (with legal paperwork to back it up.)

    You sell your soul to Streamate when you accept their contract...one of the reasons why I haven't joined.

    Even if someone copies and distributes them, cross border trademark issues and going after these people will be extremely time consuming and very expensive.

    ***My ultimate guide to most effectively eliminating being recorded***



    -I watermark the guys username right in the middle of the screen in private. Not the side, in the direct middle. It's see through, but still visible. I've never once had a complaint. But honestly, if they complain they're not worth it.

    -Also, don't be explicit in public chat. Tease, talk, dance, engage, but leave the super naughty stuff in private. Never do public shows.

    -Don't sell videos to the masses, they'll be posted on sites for free.

    -I will do custom videos and watermark the guys username (Again, in the middle. Not the side.)

    -Don't rely on content removal companies like ModelLaunch or CamModelProtection to completely remove anything. They'll never get it all. I've even paid for both companies at once. Still didn't work.

    -Make your username VERY generic. "Camgirl" "Brunette" "Sexy" "Flirty" "CamPorn" "BigTits" (NOT "BigTitsAmanda" or "FlirtyFoxyGirl") Make yourself so hard to find in a google video search. Bury yourself with all the other "HotBrunette" s that pop up.

    -Reread that last tip. It's essential. Keep trying usernames that are generic.

    -Streamate wont let you watermark, but Chaturbate and Myfreecams will. Find sites that let you protect yourself.

    -Not really a tip, but good luck on starting your cam girl journey. Charge up the ass for your shows. You're worth it. When i first started caming I was a .99 per min girl. Now I get 100 bucks just to START the show. Then 8 bucks a min after that (my profit). Fuck the broke guys that complain. Men will start paying for you when they realize you're not backing down on your price and being desperate.

    I've heard of girls using letters or a poster behind them with their name...also product placement, obvious Coke bottle or something...don't know if that's ok.

    Certain sites (that are recording your streams) are not DMCA compliant. In fact, they aren't based in the USA and proxy themselves and use private servers.


    Recording websites like *name removed*don't care about your coke bottle, copyrighted music, or your name in the background. They will auto record you, put you on their site, and make money off you.


    *name removed* isn't very likely to pay you to see your private show
    If a scam auto recording site DOES pay to see your private show, then at least their username was watermarked in the middle (cause who crops the middle of a vid?) You then can go to the big box cam site support and try and take further action. I'm not guaranteeing anything will happen, but at least you tried. And who know what could happen in your favor. You also made it a hassle.

    The watermark is less to help you take down recordings in other sites and more, so those recordings can direct traffic to you by the way. Taking all the videos down is a losing battle and waste of time in my opinion.

    You can also make your logo into a picture and overlay it as a picture.

    Sooooo! From reading this it is worth adding something. BUT the question is which sites freak out over a watermark? And which are okay with it?
