Stolen Recording by webinartv.us

We conducted a meeting and the next day was sent an email from webinartv.us that our "webinar video" was available on their website. We did not agree to this and it seems that they had a fake person register and then recorded our meeting to be posted on their website. The only person that was on the registration that was not engaging and stayed on even when the meeting was over was named Jordan Spencer and had an email ending in lightconnect.space 

Alerting zoom about this and others.

    Welcome to the Zoom Community, @dhzoom.

     

    Anyone can do a "screen scrape" of a webinar using OBS or several other tools.  Unfortunately, Zoom can't control what happens outside of Zoom.  I'm assuming it would have had to be one of your registrants.  I know a couple of the folks over at WebinarTV.us, and I'm pretty sure they're not doing something like this.  This actually happens a lot to people who create course material... someone sneaks in, records it, then loads it somewhere else and calls it "theirs".  You might reach out to them at WebinarTV and ask them to take it down, based on your ownership of the material.

    Yes, they are continuing to do this.

    Here is an analysis from CyberAlberta (Canadian provincial government): https://cyberalberta.ca/zooming-out-webinartvs-rampant-scraping-of-online-meetings

    Use of external AI summary tools by participants is a major vector for allowing them to do the screen scraping. Watch out for fireflies.ai and similar tools. I would like it if Zoom implemented an option to disallow any such tools in a meeting/webinar.

    We’ve just had the same thing happen to us, same email address Sarah Blair. So after 4 months on this thread it appears the Zoom have yet to resolve it. So we are putting our experience here too. We did not record our meeting, on purpose due to GDPR and confidentiality reasons and government officials being in attendance too. We had a registration link set up so people only received the link if they registered. We used AI companion to capture a summary for the organisers and nothing else. We had 133 people registered and from across the UK, it’s not possible to only allow people in that you know as when the audience is for a professional group which has wide reach. The screen scrape is worrying when we didn’t advertise publicly. Would really like to know what’s being done about it or what measures Zoom can put in place.

    We want to send a formal letter to a formal address for Webinar TV. Does anyone have a physical address or phone number or a registered agent for this company? Thanks
