Question About Legality
« on: November 23, 2006, 05:50:36 AM »
On a very-known forum, I has seen a guy who gave a technic to look at webcams: you type one of these sentences in google:

inurl:"ViewerFrame?Mode="
inurl:"view/index.shtml"
inurl:"MultiCameraFrame?Mode="
inurl:"axis-cgi/mjpg"
and you choose your webcam... it's very fun!

but is it legal? an other guy has said that "when it's in google, it isn't illegal" but I'm not very convinced  <_<

Just because something is on Google (or anywhere on the web) doesn't mean it's legal. I don't know about the web cam specifically, but I would imagine its an invasion of privacy if the other person hasn't given consent. Although, if you have a web cam you ought to lock it up when not using it.

a lot of cameras are survey cameras, they can't shut down these (I see it's the little morning in u.s.a)

Yeah, Google is just a means to an end. It's legal (although some people are dubious about even that), but the content you can access through it may not be.

crap like that is why I keep my webcam pointed at a dull white patch of wall most of the time

dm-horus-> no, you can just out that on the standard research bar!

it's worrying, if I use my webcam someone can see what I do :huh:

Well with certain cams like the one i use a light comes on when it is in use.  So if i saw that on i would do some thing to make that person regret look at me.  But most cams come with a privacy thinger that should be used not pulled off because you dont need that stupid thing that cramps your style :P
