Let's say the camgirl co. is leasing their communications platform via their payment platform for the viewer and performer to engage in video conferencing.

The viewer takes temporary virtual control of the performers camera and vice versa.

If I Skype with political member and get a photo of the politician published in the paper there is no way the politician could sue me.
You're also very mistaken. If the politician owns the camera, and the camera is shooting him, and you're recording video / photo / whatever with the video camera, he owns the copyright on the content. Yes, you can be sued because you do not own the content. The photographer does.

Get it? It's pretty fucking simple.

Want to know something else that's interesting about copyright law? Want to take the world's most spectacular picture with MY camera? I own the copyright on that too.


Just because you WANT to own the content, does not give you claim to the content.
