With a warm weather and the beta launch of our new mobile broadcaster, you are no longer confined indoors for your shows! These things are awesome for a performer or if you’re viewing a performer, but you have to be careful how you use it. Make sure you protect yourself from harm and legal trouble by following these guidelines.
First, when you’re broadcasting in a public place, you must remember that appearing live on CAM4 was probably not what the strangers nearby had in mind when they started their walk in the park today. Always protect yourself from angry people who might sue you – never broadcast others unless they say it’s okay!
Being outside while you broadcast (on your own property or property you have received permission to be on from the owner) opens up a ton of fun new things to try! Just be sure you don’t get in trouble by violating other people’s trademarks or copyrights. You can’t even use music in the background of a broadcast without having permission. If you do, you can be sued for copyright infringement.
Feel free to broadcast from a car, motorcycle, airplane, or flying saucer… just don’t do it while the engine’s running! We don’t want you hurt, and we don’t want you to hurt anyone – let your common sense prevail. You can’t operate machinery and broadcast at the same time, it’s too dangerous.
Finally, this is very important to remember while using CAM4 (on mobile or any other way):
NEVER allow children to appear on your broadcast in any way. If a minor or child or someone who appears to be too young (under 18) appears on your broadcast, your account will be instantly terminated. We have to do that – we are not here to let children be exploited in any way, shape, manner or form.
So go have fun broadcasting outside, in public, at the beach, at your favorite bar – just make sure you always know the rules that apply to wherever you happen to be (and don’t upset that bar owner or it’s patrons). Remember, it’s your responsibility to stay out of jail, and we are not here to police you or tell you what to do.
To help eliminate claims of invasion of privacy, CAM4 recommends you don’t broadcast from a height of more than 5’5″ (1.67 meters) off the ground.
