Broadcasters employ their own DMCA protection to police their content, whether it be from their feeds or social accounts.
In the event you receive a DMCA when using feeds from API, please forward it to [email protected] and let them know the content is from the API. They will go in and opt the broadcaster out of affiliate network websites. |
What about the image and the text content of the feed? Are we not allowed to store that at all? If not there are tons of Twitter accounts, Tumblr sites and Wordpress sites that are violating this policy.
They also get an edge because they get models deeplinked on their sites. If we are not allowed to keep any of the content in the xml feed then zero models should be deepllinked unless they are on the chaturbate.com domain or if sites have permission to post the model (which im willing to wager the majority of affilates don't have permissions from the thousands of mdoels posted on their site).
I really wish you would make this abundantly clear in the api section of the affiliate area. The statement above is pretty nebulous. Can we or can we not store the image and the text content provided in the feed on our websites? We know you can't scrape screen shots and record the video (most people who do this don't even use the feeds) but can we store the text and image in the feed?
