@404mediaco I blocked their domains last year after seeing some of that traffic via Chrome extensions and found the same public LinkedIn post you linked in the article:

AI VC aren’t as clever as their coke-addled minds think they are; I can only assume there are others.

“WebinarTV is a ... good internet citizen. We only want to promote webinars that want more viewers.

If a copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf requests content to be removed,

then WebinarTV will promptly remove it."

Good news Pirates! You can be a good internet citizen and only remove copyrighted work IF contacted!

Sadly this will be the tip of the iceberg me thinks

This is disturbing. I do mediations by Zoom, and many people do therapy by Zoom. These are all supposed to be confidential. They may not be aiming for therapy or mediation, but it’s chilling to know that someone has access to that info and is willing to use it.

How can we provide confidential services to our clients, with predators gobbling up our private meetings?

As long as you're not posting the connection information in public, and you set passwords that are sent directly to valid participants, this won't happen to you.

The jerks here are connecting to meetings whose information has been posted online in public.
