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.

Outside LOL -- didn't catch that meaning :1orglaugh
OUTDOORS? That never came up with me personally. But I would not allow it.
A passer-by on camera might cause some legal concerns but as long as the passer-by's exposure was unintended I don't see him having any legal remedy.

I thought he meant outside of the images available to affiliate -- we get asked that often.



It's your ass then ... get your paperwork right ;-)
The same reasoning would apply to any agreement you make though.

Models are non-exclusive contractors in most cases. The only termination offense is making side deals with our customers circumventing their agreements with us.

Technically, a fenced in yard or out in the woods, in a place where only the model(s) would be on cam would be OK. In a public place, with nudity or explicit sex -- NO.

That doesn't mean that you can't make a fake set, e.g.; the office, the gym, girls' showers :Op , and so forth
