This is not specific to cb though the thing with them is there is content owned by them as well as content owned by the models.
Cam sponsors must step in and help affiliates when the content reported is theirs (ex: cb embed cams)
With regards to chaturbate, you can use live transient content coming from the promotools (embed cams (iframes), whitelabels, and any fields coming from the API baring in mind the images coming from it are allowed for the duration of the live show).
It is not allowed to use other data from their bio: about me, photos etc... Definitely not allowed to post snapshots of shows.
This last bit is where both broadcasters and webmasters get confused sometimes since the model's biography contain both material owned by chaturbate (and allowed to webmasters) such as "name", "username", "room subject" or "age" and material owned by the model (her menu, pics, ..).
So in theory it is not complicated, but in practice you have to count in some erroneous interpretations: some models don't know that webmasters are authorized to create pages using chaturbate promotools or they type their name in google and file in bulk against all URLs they find mixing perfectly valid promotions with piracy sites (recording of pvt shows).
There are also models that perform on several cam sites, that causes further confusion to some. For example, a model that perform on a site that allows webmasters to download a profile picture! Then the model who is also on cb sees the photo and believes this is a dmca violation when in fact the picture is owned by the original cam site (model agreement) that authorize the webmaster to use it (terms).
Either your cam sponsor will help you with the erroneous dmca or you have to find an alternative. One solution (rather tedious) would be to enable an opt-in functionality on your site, so that model would proactively opt-in to be promoted. Even then ...
Another thing that would be cool is a tool for cb models to upload content they agree to be used by webmasters. That'd be a feature request for the cb folks.
