Splitting hair here, but if it comes to legal questions some hair splitting has to be done I think.
In my opinion, it can be a nice and funny thing to put a GIF or two into the chat when it stays classy and isn't too much. But when the model is in the GIF I think there are some things to consider. It is clear that it is generally not allowed to record the stream.
How about screenshots? Does anybody know the legal situation here? After all a screenshot is a recording of one frame so my gut feeling tells me that it's equally illegal.
Would a permission given by the model after she saw the picture in PM chat change that in any way? Again gut feeling: No, because that permission can't be certified. And this is more to protect the viewer of legal consequences, because the model might change his/her mind and in extreme cases sue the viewer.
I know that GIFs can be reported to CB. But I don't know if that isn't just some hollow method to fulfill legal requirements on CBs part without really enforcing it.
1. Do you allow viewers to upload GIFs of you on CB?
2. Do they even ask for permission?
I read a long time ago in one of the threads here, that a model was banned for putting memes with real people into the picture upload section of their bio. Its pretty logical if you ask me. After all I wouldn't be surprised if some lives of people who found themselves on a famous meme were destroyed.
but why is it different with GIFs? there are tens of thousands GIFs with real people, even children inside CB and Of course nobody asked them.
I know that in reality (almost) nobody cares. And in some cases models find it funny or are even happy when someone uploads a GIF of them. But if I'd try to put myself in their shoes I'd still like to be asked before.
Or do you see it as occupational hazard that can't be helped?
Thanks in advance!
