This is not foolproof. What if someone records the video from another phone while playing. Similar to snapchat.

I think the idea is that during the relationship both parties are at peace so neither party will have any desire to do something underhanded like recording the video from another phone. This app addresses the problem that occurs when the relationship ends on a bad note and one party has to the urge to harm the other through whatever means necessary.

Because nobody would ever offload the videos before the breakup?

This is pretty naive though. Everyone so far who's ever sent me, er, "home videos" has later decided to stop sending me such content and would probably revoke my access to it if they could. Maybe I'm just a sneaky jerk, but backing up content that I would like to see again seems like something I'd try regardless of how the relationship was at the time. I don't mean anyone harm and I'd not distribute someone's videos without their consent. I'd just want to keep the ability to look at them.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I don't get the point of sextapes. I have excellent recall, so why do I need a video record?

Very few people have excellent recall. Possibly nobody does about something so non-binary as an extended sexual encounter. Memory is a story we tell ourselves about the past. However, I bet you do remember it better than it was. So keep your memories. They're much better for this than a video record.

Yes, there is that :)

Where's the legal contract part? If my video is leaked by the other party, I'd like to at least have a clear contract so I can issue takedown notices, sue for copyright damages, etc. (Edit: Not a new idea, certainly, but well executed so far.)

That would probably be a matter between you and the other party (the video never touches the app's servers). There's nothing stopping you from drawing up a contract yourself, but I don't see any reason for this app to provide something like that.

This is a really cool concept. But ultimately you cannot get past the analog hole. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_hole

At least until we have some sort of mind-control technology, which would probably be used for far creepier purposes if/when it did come into existence.

But indeed for now, that analog hole can still be... penetrated. ;-)

I'm pretty sure leaking a sex video without consent is already illegal in most countries. And you can sue the other party for a lot more severe crimes than copyright damages.
