Possible infringements
When using the webcam you should observe the following
instructions:
Copyright
In principle, every person has the right to his or her own
image. According to copyright law, pictures may only be
published without the consent of the persons concerned if the
persons appear merely as an accessory next to a landscape or
other localities.
The answer to the question of whether a person is merely an
accessory depends on the circumstances of the individual
case. For reasons of legal certainty, information should be
provided via the webcam in all cases where recordings with
identifiable personal references are possible (see also the
section entitled „Duty to inform“).
Protection of privacy
The privacy of others must not be violated by the pictures
shown. Do not point your camera into the garden or the front
door of your neighbor‘s house, even if these places are visible
from your own home or public places. This does not entitle
you to publish these views.
