There were three videos in particular that I shot personally, I produced them, paid for the models, and used the content for our site and our DVDs. So, when I find these scenes on XVideos, I would normally just send a DMCA notice, like I just did. The problem is, three of these videos had a link on them that said, "This video is sponsored by 1 Girl 1 Camera", and you click that link and it takes you to the Puba Pornstar Network.
Am I missing something here, or is Puba posting my videos on XVideos and paying XVideos for advertising my videos???? Someone tell me I'm wrong...
So... someone tell me WTF is going on here?
Thanks, I'm sure the 2 AM crowd can give me a reasonable explanation.

Old videos and old account. We used to give access to sponsor link codes to any user, so that they could be responsible and promote the sites the videos were coming from.
It was a feature designed to benefit content owners but it turned out as being used randomly like in this case.
Now only channel accounts can use these link codes in players but we could not just revert all the old associations because many are valid.
