I am a camgirl and I have worked as an affiliate marketer as well for many years. I am working with an attorney and a group of 17 cammodels to find a solution to this problem. What you are about to read is probably the most sketchy behavior on the part of the sponsor I have personally seen in this industry and I am hoping that, by exposing this publicly they will finally decide to do something about it, and I also hope to alert all other affiliate marketers so they think twice about working with this sponsor. Here is the deal:
In 2016 a piracy site popped up, a "porntube" dedicated exclusively to pirating camgirl content. In time this website has grown into a network of multiple sites. Piracy is not a new issue, we know, the biggest problem we have with this network isn't the piracy but the fact that the webmaster is willing to do almost anything to gain notoriety. This is a network of "porntubes" that rely on "user uploaded content" but we know he is behind a big chunk of the network's uploads. Several videos on the site have doxxed the models in them by posting personal details of the models on the descriptions: their real legal name, address, phone number, links to family facebook accounts, etc, the doxxed girls have gone through dangerous (and in one case life threatening) situations because their information including their address are exposed on that site. The webmaster ignores emails asking to take those videos down and for a while hosted a Telegram group where he himself and users of the site made fun of the doxxed girls.
On top of that there is the piracy issue. What we normally do is use the appropriate channels by getting our DMCA agents to send requests to the sites that host our content illegally and almost every site out there complies.. and if they don't their server does. But not this network. His sites are hosted on a bulletproof offshore server that ignores emails and we can't do anything to take down any videos. A model had a boyfriend upload their personal videos as revenge after the breakup and they were impossible to take down. That's when we started to target the sponsors and over the past few years we have gotten several sponsors to kick this affiliate off their programs. The network is now permanently banned from these programs/CPAs:
Chaturbate
Bongacams
Flirt4free
Exxoclick
Popcash
CrakRevenue
All we had to do in each case to get his affiliate accounts terminated was write politely to the sponsor explaining the situation because once it is clear this website is pirating content and non DMCA compliant no decent sponsor keeps them in their programs. There isn't a website out there willing to become liable to protect an affiliate's illegal activities, or so we thought.
Enter, Stripchat. Stripchat which I am ashamed to say it is a camsite has been the only sponsor so far that has ignored every email sent by our attorneys, every email sent by us, models, and by some of their own performers and has continued to fund this website. Stripchat banners, pop-ups and pop-unders are on each and every one of his network's sites as they are the sole sponsor they have left. We thought because of the volume of an affiliate program that big it was impossible to keep track of the activities of each individual affiliate and that is why their banners continued to be displayed on the network. So our attorneys sent polite emails, cease & desist emails, us models wrote to them ourselves, including some of their own performers, but they ignored every single email, every single message since December.
So last week we decided to go public and asked them for an explanation on a camgirl forum. See image below
Their rep gave the most bizarre reply... that the affected models who are working as Stripchat models should send them links to the videos they want to get taken down from this network and they would try to manage those. In essence saying they wouldn't terminate the account:
Several models complained about the repsonse because nobody was expecting to get such a response from a site that has all our personal information... to keep bankrolling a website that doxxes and steals from your own performers is probably one of the least ethical things i have seen a sponsor do online in my 10 years working as an affiliate marketer.
Stripchat, the site that should be taking care of it's own performer's safety, that has in a database the IDs, addresses, phone numbers and bank information of models is funding a website known for doxxing and stealing from his own camgirls and other camgirls too. When confronted about it their response was that they would help take down its own models pirated content... meaning they would continue to allow this network to doxx, steal and profit from models who aren't signed up for Stripchat and stealing content from their competition: Myfreecams, Chaturbate, Streamate, etc.
The rep then replied saying they are launching an invastigation on each and every site they are hosting to see if there is piracy because they will have a zero tolerance policy towards it... but while this long and seemingly neverending investigation takes place the banners and pop-unders continue to be displayed in this network and Stripchat continues to receive traffic from our stolen content and doxxed information.
We are now posting this here hoping to accomplish several things:
1) To show Myfreecams, Chaturbate, Bongacams, Streamate... etc... Stripchat competitors ... how Stripchat is making a profit and gaining traffic from their stolen content. I can't find the reps for Myfreecams and Stramate (if there's any) if anyone could link them it would be ace

2) To show any affiliates working with Stripchat through their own program Stripcash or through CrakRevenue how unreliable, untrustworthy and shady this company is that they are the only one willing to continue to work with an affiliate like this knowing this network is putting the lives of their own performers in danger. A sponsor like this will not bat an eye at doing other shady shit like shaving your earnings or closing shop and running away with 1 or 2 pay periods worth of affiliate earnings. You better put your hard work, energy and time into working with any of the other trustworthy sponsors who terminated the account immediately upon learning what the nature of the affiliate was.
3) To ask Stripchat one more time to terminate this account before we focus our attention on getting Epoch and Paymentico to reevaluate their relationship with this company. So Stripchat: terminate this affiliate account. I am not going to link to the websites here because there is sensitive information in the description of many videos, and because it is unnecessary since you already know what site we are talking about. Terminate the account and make sure they cannot open a new account using the same information (ban his legal name, payment methods as well as his websites).
