So if they broadcast a porn video through the cam site, do you believe the cam site becomes the new owner of that porn video? If they're playing music in the background, do you think the cam site becomes the copyright holder of that music? If they're broadcasting to two or more sites at once, do you believe more than one site has the copyright on the same material?
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.

Now let's say I have a web site that promotes a cam network and I take a snapshot of a performer of the cam network to promote that performer and the cam network through my website. To my knowledge this has always been acceptable. I do not need permission from that performer since all content streamed though the cam network is property of the cam network and not the performer.

Even if it were the property of the camsite, it's not your property, is it? So how would that be "acceptable"?

I do not have a problem with removing the photo or link to the performers that have a problem with being promoted, although I don't understand why anyone would be against it.

You can't think of any reason why anyone would object to you copying and publishing material you don't own, without asking permission?
