Parents and child safety experts concerned about the online activities of teenagers have been particularly nervous about a Web site called Stickam, which allows its , registered users, age 14 and older, to participate in unfiltered live video chats using their Web cameras. On its Web site and in press reports, Stickam says that it is owned by Advanced Video Communications, or AVC, a three-year-old Los Angeles company that sells video conferencing and e-commerce services to businesses in Japan and other Asian countries. But according to Alex Becker, a former vice president at Stickam, and internal company documents, Advanced Video Communications is managed and owned by Wataru Takahashi, a Japanese businessman who also owns and operates DTI Services, a vast network of Web sites offering live sex shows over Web cameras. Becker alleges that Stickam shares office space, employees and computer systems with the pornographic Web sites.
Stickam's terms of service have done little to silence the site's critics. In , The New York Times ran a story about a former executive of the company claiming that the owner of Stickam's parent corporation also managed a company that provides pornographic content on the Web. The executive said that both companies used some of the same office space, equipment and even personnel to run the separate businesses. Stickam executives have admitted that Japanese businessman Wataru Takashi owns Stickam's parent company, AVC, as well as companies that produce pornographic content for the Web. But they deny any link between the enterprises. Even if there is no basis for complaint regarding Stickam's owner, users should still be aware that not everything on Stickam may be appropriate for all ages.
