Should you have a right to conduct your daily business without having to worry about your picture being taken or, worse yet, have streaming video of you at your desk posted to the internet?  Would you get upset if something like that happened to you and the picture taker decided to add his or her editorial comments about you and what you were doing?  But, you're protected from that by the laws of slander or libel, you might say.  Well, you might be if you knew who did it but, if you're a college professor, you might not.  An internet site which allows students to rate their professors anonymously is calling for students to take candid photos of profs to be posted to the site.
