Hello, guys.
I was thinking of trying stripchat, but somethings in they're contract made me very alarmed. I don't remember seeing those things when I signed for cam4 or mfc. I don't speak fluent English so maybe I didn't understand it so well but according to this part of my contract they will own every single thing I do on the site? My "stage name" , my "ideas" (like, whaaat), my videos, even my voice???? Is this normal for cam sites? Would you work for a site with this in the contract? I know they can use our image for marketing but I didn't know it was that much.
