As someone posted already, there are default laws (similar in all countries, just a little different between US and Euro), but these applies if there's no one contract that overwrites them. So this is not same for all cam shows but it depends by the agreement (TOS - Terms of Service) between the cam girl and the site, and also between the customer and the cam site. In a TOS a site can write that you accept to pay them forver for no reason until you are alive, and if you accept it, that's it, you are bound to it, even if this is silly. So if a model accept a TOS where all his private chats are property of the site and she have no one right (not evne moral right) and she accept also these clips to be used in advertising so published without need to ask further consents, well she agreed to this and she can't complain so much. If in agreement the model would accept also that users get right to own store distribute freely the private chats, that make the users entitled to do what they want and in practice, the model agrees the private chats videos goes into the public domain.
So the question should be made about a specific site and should be provided the TOS of member and contract of model, to say definitely what's the case, site by site.
In general (but not always) the copyright of video is either by model or site, and so the customer should get written consent from model, site or both, to redistribute or even store on own computer a copy of the private video (unless already provided as site feature).
In the specific case of our site ChatGF.com, we decided we're like skype or yahoo messenger and so, we have right to stream the private once, but copyrights keeps to the model for redistribution, so the user should get a written consent from model to store and especially redistribute the private chats recordings, plus get copy of 2257 docs if he don't want other type of issues.
Usually, guys don't ask at all and simply may record private chats and upload in forums or tubes - then when a model finds her private in forums accessible from her neighbours, write upset to us (the cam site) and asks us to contact those forums or tubes for take down (russian teenager girls may be not the top laywers out there so is normal they ask the cam site to intervene).
I know of a model who got a color printed copy of her private chat frames, sticked to her home door in Kiev. Neighbours had quite fun at it, obviously she had not that much fun. It happens.
