All Chaturbate streams are public domain according to their ToS. She agreed to those terms when she decided to put porn on the internet.
Nice job reading the tos.
Public information is not the same as public domain. They still hold the copyright on the streams, making reuploads illegal.
Also, aside from legality, it's simply morally wrong. They consented to be watched once live (or, if they enabled recordings, until they delete the VOD), not for it to be shared around on third party sites forever - regardless what Chaturbate put in their TOS to cover their asses.
Nope. That would make reuploads for profit illegal, reupload for news purposes or because it's of public import are wholely legal.
Morality is subjective but no chaturbate makes it very clear the streams are not private and they do not hold them to be private and anywhere you're specifically told not to expect privacy is public.
Redistributing copyrighted material without permission is not only illegal when it's for profit. What you're alluding to is Fair Use (which does not require to be not-for-profit). And given the four factors of Fair Use, I think you're going to have a hard time arguing in court that uploading the full stream without adding anything constitutes Fair Use.
And I did not say it was not in public. But it was made public intended for one-time, live viewing; and not respecting that is immoral.
Some would say that livestreaming sex for strangers is immoral, and I'd also tell them to go fuck themselves. Morality is absolutely the weakest argument you can put forward in this situation. We all know how the internet works nowadays, and it doesn't cater to sheepishness.
Another thing we agree on. But you do realize that you telling them to go fuck themselves is based on a moral judgement as well?
And again, "[that's] how the internet works" does not make it right.
