@Jel; If the camgirls (cam models more gender neutral) were more wanting to give us promotional material use consented content -- cams would be more attractive to many to promote -- I won't dispute that point and essentially I agree with it.
We have been working for years now at developing model ''portfolios" of authorized materials-- it's slow going and convincing an independent model is in many ways actually easier than a ''studio girl'' in Eastern Europe or Columbia.
I think a lot of the DMCA shield icons and warning text are on new models pages at CB and mostly models that are new -- more ''monkey-see monkey-do" IMHO. These girls are afraid that their Uncle Charley may beat-off on the site and see them and tell their Granny ... It gets that weird ... Or, their ex-boyfriend will start revenge posting them sucking their new boyfriend's cock on cam. I doubt they personally could pay to sue but the DCMA threats looks sooo official -- like the "beware of the dog" sign left on the gate years after the dog died ... For Affiliates that have to deal with web host policies the threat is more real but how many cam models can file a proper DMCA?
It's just not worth the grief -- find the cam models that want the promotion and the camgirls that don't want the ''exposure'' won't have the new potential customers that direct affiliate promotion will produce -- their loss and the smart girls are models and referring affiliates at the same time -- they pump their earnings to the max-- 80% but they are that 1% (probably less) you referred to
