The growing use of internet and personal pages, like blogs, videologs and messenger programs, brought webcams into our daily lives. There isn't a safety mode devised to use cams. A person can expose oneself to a stranger, who in turn sends it to others.

Recently, a New Jersey's 19 years old student, Gary Brolsma, , footage himself singing jocosely the "Dragostea Din Tei", from the O-Zone pop group. He showed it to some friends and relatives, and then, some of those receiving copies also send it to other 'good friends', until Gary's image became famous and his video appeared on TV channels like CNN and VH1. The teenager didn't like the exposition, and doesn't answer telephone calls anymore. His family says he's ashamed with the situation.

Others however love being under the spot light and have more than one webcam in their household. They lost the sense of reality and started to interpret in real life, as in a Big Brother TV show. The first expelled competitor of the first series, made in Holland, in 1999, tried to kill himself when leaving the den. Worryingly however, is when the victim is not aware of circumstances. For example, there was a 17-year-old girl, in Brazil, captured having sex with a 17-year boy. Intercourse ended up on the internet. Now, gone out of control.

The next best thing is only expose oneself to those with proven reliability, and in front of the camera, never do anything that may cause regret later. If the person intents to have cybersex by means of webcam, it's fundamental that the other deserves trust laid on, otherwise, there's the risk of own images ended up without permission on the net. If desperately so-wishes to expose attributes to one another, although not knowing each other, a preventive measure is anything that may give it away to be disguised.
