I'm not a legal expert, but as far as I know I'd say that the free content of websites in the internet should be considered as any public place - just like any other material public space where people find themselves in their physical life.

You are free to take pictures or film people who walk down the public street without their explicit consent because they know in advance they can be seen or pictured when they show out in public. You don't need to ask permission to look at them, to picture them or to film them, and you can freely install a cam or a webcam that trasmits their images on the web without advising what is being done.

The only thing you cannot do is making money with those images, selling them, asking money for viewing them, or the like.

Now, I think that while the above mentioned behaviour is legal and commonly used, it may not be entirely ethical.

ciao!
