The hosts paid us hourly equipment and room rental when they worked and that was it. If they wished to start working from home or somewhere else they could, our studio was for the type that either did not wish to work from home due to privacy reasons, or for those that enjoyed having such high speed connections when such connections were very expensive. We were fully covered as far as independant contractor vs. employee relationship goes.
As for why would it be any different for other cam sites in CA, honestly we never used any other camsites. So I am unsure as to how much they controlled the content, set forced pricing, and other elements the state was interested in. Then again maybe most of the other cam sites at the time were off the radar in CA, who knows.

I know to be paid the 1% on chathost referrals you need to be an Active Chathost. So if you started a main chathost account that you used and referred everyone you signed up to that and then you stopped working on that name, you would be become inactive. That's how it was explained to me, and since you said you still get money every now and then, you must have went too long with out a check to become "inactive".
They controlled the content a lot, like what you cant do because of legal reasons. The price setting, to my knowledge was only a min and they worked around this issue years back by allowing a few free shows. Since then they have added Fanclubs, (first money free) where chathost give free shows, so even though there may be a min price for private, there are several other aspects that allow for free, which would seem to take care of that problem.
