Was the Tommy Lee/Pamela video akin to the Tyler Clementi streaming feed?
Lets face it, laws are changing because the technology is changing (smaller cheaper spy cameras and broadband feeds, etc.) and demand is growing (society is getting more open about sex and want to see more of it).
Is the expectation of Reasonable Privacy going to change?
If I put a hidden camera in the nursery to see if and when the babysitter checks on the baby, then would that would be okay? What if I am looking for crime in the alley and see two teens going at it and put it on the web? What if the webcam is on all the time in my dorm room and you watched?
Now, if I put a hidden camera in the bathroom to see what color underpants the babysitter wears, would that be okay? Can you invade privacy, even if it is in your own room?
The key elements of the case are intent and consent. What was the intent of the person placing the camera, and did all interested parties consent to the placement. One has a reasonable expectation of privacy in ones own room even if you have a roommate. Any live streaming feed from the room would require the consent of both occupants. And if the intention was to capture embarrassing film of a person in a compromising position, then it could be harassment, or extortion.
