Is a "TOS" enough to claim the copyright? Is there no Law talking about this specific case?
What governs this situation is the terms between the web cam performer and the network/company she is doing freelance work for. If there's a work for hire provision, then the finished product--the streamed performance is owned by the network. If there's no such provision, the rights owner is the performer by default by operation of what Xenigo described above. The performer is the "photographer" or "videographer".
