While the cultural differences of course do exist, you don't even address his question of whether or not there is a "safe" way to cam and protect himself, regardless of his location or culture.
True enough. But why should I? I don't have a further answer to the OP's *specific* question (which you and other posters addressed exceedingly well). I don't see a reason to post a rehashing of what several people already had said. I took the question as having an implied concern - the uglies that can occur if blackmail is not avoided and one is "outed". That doesn't seem to me like too big of a leap considering the questions asked. It seems that the OP may not be thinking all of this through. I don't think it is unreasonable to mention other things that should be considered that can be a result of blackmail.
The differences in how the internet works in different countries was not addressed by anyone else and is a real and very serious issue. At least one poster presumed that the USA is in South East Asia and that the laws there would also be applicable elsewhere! (I'm avoiding the whole international law question here of course.) Blackmail is the least of one's worries if one is being watched by the police and has to be concerned about being charged with a crime, jail time and the like. Is there a reason the rest of you ignored that? Of course - it isn't the same kind of issue where you are. It *is* an issue in other countries. Would it even occur to you to think in that way? Probably not. And I say Hallelujah for that.
As an aside, during my time on CM I've noticed that there is a precedent of discussions sometimes going off on related - and sometimes unrelated - tangents. It's interesting that you chose to target my response about a related and damned important issue rather than making the same point to the folks quoting songs and the people giving pithy answers. Interesting, but no matter.

Personally, it is my view that if something is that illegal in the area where you live, you would be best to avoid it entirely and yes, I do check the location of posters when they ask a question.
Honestly, anyone who is camming and worrying after the fact about what people can do with the information isn't "thinking it through" regardless of where they are, and no amount of kindly advice is going to do them any good.
As for why I didn't say anything to those "pithy" snide remarks or song posters....they rarely say anything of substance anyway and so I ignore them as being not worth the time or effort to respond. You, on the other hand typically give very good advice on the subject at hand. Someone who didn't take the time to think, knowing that they live in a place where their activities would be seriously frowned upon to the point of prosecution isn't really going to benefit from you pointing it out, and you pointing it out to those here who can't be bothered to notice isn't likely to do much good either. People tend to only take information from the post they want to comment on regarding all the rest, including, but not limited to location, gender, and even actual question.
yea sunny the OP is pretty moronic the software that comes with the cam will capture. I couldn't help but notice the post by red ie the privacy issue without getting into the issues basically unless you have extreme hacking skills you will not have privacy on the net. If you explain what your attempting to do I might be able to point you in the right direction.
