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.
