Yes I find this is true. I'm not sure what the solution is. Sites need a way to promote their sites, but geo filtering all photos and videos that affiliates use is impossible unless everything is hosted by sites. Anyone have ideas?

And if the model accepts that risk, fine. But clearly most models are understandably naive and assume they have nothing to worry about.
