Yeah, sorry about the way that sounded. It wasn't intended to be directed at you, more about cam sites who have the idea that just because something is broadcast via their site, they automatically own it. Which I find arguable.

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?

Well I guess if they provide material, then you're expected to use that, and not other stuff. Though I suppose if you asked the site they might provide different content.

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.

They probably don't understand how cam sites are promoting themselves these days. Cam models don't like the idea of themselves all over the internet, and they think the cam site is the only way they can be seen. So if they see their pic on your site, they'll object because they think there's more chance they'll be 'exposed'. I assume that's the reason anyway.
Latin Cams mentioned geo targeting too. The cam model might not even be aware of geotargeting or how it works, but it might explain why they complain about your pics (that they can see) rather than the cam site feed/plugins (that she isn't aware of, because her content is blocked for her country).
