Our reasoning for not allowing affiliates to serve images and videos that are not hotlinked; is that there are times a model leaves and asks if we would remove the model's images for privacy reasons . We generally would as we understand that models may get married or wish to try and undo their adult webcam work for a mainstream job etc. . The copyright issues are moot as the model no longer is working for us and making us money.

The problem is that affiliates get threating letters from lawyers and boy-friends over the images that they use that are non-official and NOT hotlinked from our servers.

That is the policy and its reasoning at XloveCam. Other cam sites may view this differently but generally the use of non-official model images or video is frowned upon and even prohibited by Affiliate contracts.
