It's not just videos. Anything you put up on the 'net has a chance to get pirated. I've had articles of mine plagiarized and posted to other websites with no attribution, and in one instance even used as parts of a script for a YouTube video with no recognition until I commented about it on their channel, and other commenters raised enough hell over it that they deleted the video.
It's obnoxious, it's frustrating, but you seem to be handling it the right way: report, move on, and keep doing what you're doing. You'll never be able to cut all the heads off this hydra, but keep fighting as best you can. You're worth it. :)
Yeah it's definitely a struggle. Granted, writing would probably be harder to find if it's been plagiarized because they wouldn't put your name on it (which with camming, it's just like one bot recording every live cam ever somehow? So each recording has the model's name on it). But if you're able to contact the person who consciously copied your work, that's fairly traceable. Obviously, if the person made money off your work (like if the youtube video you mentioned was monetized), that really blows.
In the hours after I posted this, I was running in circles from forums to replicas of these sites to fake DMCA report sites and it seems like many of these sites straight up ignore DMCA requests. I don't want to think it's a lost cause, but plagiarism reports aren't something you can just dive headfirst into without knowing what you're doing.
Thank you for your kind words, and I wish you the best of luck with people respecting your intellectual property too!
