Pay-per-view online video comes to Stickam, camgirls be damned

After bringing viewers more streaming Leo Laporte and tween-scene queens than they care to admit watching, live video service Stickam is opening a pay-per-view platform, PayPerLive. Where there's video feeds and PayPal buttons — that's who's covering the money side — there's naked ladies, right? More »

Leo Laporte cashes $100,000 check from Stickam Stickam's rumored $100,000 signing bonus to woo nodcaster Leo Laporte away from live-video broadcasting startup Ustream.tv worked, as Laporte is officially working with the site, previously best known for emo camkids and a booming side business in pornography. Though I admit, Laporte drunk and out of control might make his show interesting enough to watch. [Mashable] (Photo by MR O)

Secret Service can't help Stickam keep users from saying "bye bye"

Stickam, the webcam site the New York Times says is backed by Japanese pornographers and Stickam PR says isn't, has a spam problem. CEO Steve Fruchter says last November, hackers broke into "an old community forum system" and stole 2 million Stickam user email addresses. Now users keep getting email from a company called SlickCam. A Stickam flack told the Times its contacted "the Secret Service and a specialized Internet security research firm" in effort to halt the onslaught. Is it working? More »

Stickam video service linked to porn-site operator

And here we thought the site was just annoying: Stickam, a video-sharing service, is owned by a Japanese operator of porn websites, Brad Stone reports for the New York Times. A former employee claims that "Stickam shares office space, employees and computer systems with the pornographic Web sites." That's disturbing for parents, considering that Stickam lets 14-year-olds use the site, and disturbing for media companies like Lionsgate and Warner Brothers Records, which have run promotions on the site. The kicker to the Times story? Anti-pornography crusader Donna Rice Hughes says parents need to "exercise caution" when viewing the site's racy videos. Hughes, the former model who brought an end to Gary Hart's 1980s presidential campaign, could tell Stickam a thing or two about undesirable connections.
