The studio/model might be giving permission for the material to be recorded and used, via the terms and conditions or user agreement, but the idea that a cam site automatically becomes the new copyright holder of any material passing through their servers is absurd.

Okay, so obviously my choice of the word "copyright" isn't the best. Model release, liability waiver, legal release or whatever... I'm not sure what it's called but everyone else seems to understand without having to give fatuous retorts.

Many camsites if not all of them will record video as well as take snapshots of all models online periodically. Most of them also offer tools or the ability to include a list of online models on your own website. These plugins or feeds usually contain a snapshot of the model and a link to their webcam. So, why wouldn't I find it acceptable to have a page of "recommended models" that includes ONE snapshot, a text that says 'this girl is hot, visit her page at blabberbate', and a link to her page?

No, I can not fathom how a webcam model could oppose having a snapshot of them with a link promoting her webcam. But like I said, I have no problem removing it. So now they're no longer on the "recommended models" page but guess what... when they're online they still show up in my plugin that shows all the models currently online, and I still get an RSS feed that posts a snapshot of them with a link to their cam on my "Featured Cams" feed.
