You're still presuming there's a top down gathering; that's not what's going to happen. It's going to be a bottom up thing like flickr is to photographs, people uploading their own shit real-time and storing it online. The host will not be responsible for user generated content and the law isn't going to be able to police hundreds of millions of users anymore than they do now, which is basically none. You don't have a right to privacy in public; public means public.

More importantly, laws can't stop the progress of technology; the genie cannot be put back into the bottle because some people are uncomfortable with it. You can't stop someone from photographing you and putting it on the Internet and it will be no different with video. It's already no different, see youtube. Things like Glass will simply make it easier, but it's already being done.
