Are you concerned about the ripping and republishing of performer shows ?
Is IP an issue you guys tackle already or have you not taken action ?
We're uncovering literally tens of thousands of files on file lockers where pirates are monetizing the download of these live video rips.

I think each cam site got a little different policy and enforcement also varies.
Specifically our sites (
http://chatgf.com and
http://tubecamgirl.com ) , got terms of service and agreement signe dby models, stateing: THE PERFORMER RETAINS RIGHTS OVER THE OWN LIVE FEED - WE THE CAM SITE, ONLY GET A RIGHT TO RE-TRASMIT IT LIVE ONE TIME, MUCH SAME AS YOUR INTERNET PROVIDER OR PHONE COMPANY; and accordingly, we do not provide recorded shows to customers to re-play, it is only live; this qualifies our cam company much same as an internet service provider or a proxy server, not like a publisher or copyright holder.
Accordingly, should each model, as the sole owner of her video feed recordings rights, submit a DMCA to infringing sites. Really, if some model contact us crying about her sex show screenshots being freely visible in russia, colombia by local neighbours, friends and relatives (which is what really matters to the models, not the money or piracy issue), we tell how to contact the sites or assist contacting in her behalf, as a courtesy and/or as a matter of principle.
Most other cam sites (except perhaps chatroulettes etc.) own the rights and not the models - anyway really the models care not to be seen naked in own country and relatives, it is not properly a "piracy" issue but a personal exposing issue.
