University of Minnesota Duluth staff members abruptly shut down a live webcam at the UMD Library on Monday after learning that its images were being streamed over a website for the Duluth Sauna
UMD had set up the camera and directed it at a section of the library shortly after it was built so viewers could see the interior, and this is the first reported misuse of it, said Linda Deneen, director of information technology systems and services at UMD.
Spokesman for the Sauna has said the link to the web camera and title were suggested by UMD students who are customers. Though the link has been taken down, the spokesperson said if asked the Sauna would have taken down the link. But that no one had objected, until now.

This sounds illegal. I can’t believe the owner of the Duluth Family Sauna thought this would be appropriate (without the school’s knowledge).
