"my subjects were not aware of the fact that I was documenting them, although ironically, they are visible for the entire world to see/capture. I gained a deep sense of familiarity with a lot of my subjects, even though they have been unaware of my presence."
So here's this guy who decided to screenshot webcam shows and show them in a gallery and pass of as his photography. Umm excuse me taking a screenshot of my live show does not give you copyright of that content since I am the one recording this feed with my camera it makes me the creator and the copyright holder of the content unless I am with a cam website which then becomes the property of the website but never the property of the viewer who thinks by taking screenshots of your feed he now has rights to those photos. I would sue the beejesus out of this guy if I knew he was using a screenshot of me for his gallery shows. What makes him think is OK for him to share those photos on a gallery or article. That is Plain copyright infringement.
