I got a question about ownership/content for those in the know.

On a site like Voyeurweb, where amateurs submit pictures of themselves, who owns the copyright to the submitted pictures? The webmaster, the amateur, the photography?

Is the webmaster free to use that content however he please? Use it in ads? Even sell it as content to other webmasters or viewers? Or does the amateur have to sign a disclaimer agreeing to that?

For example, you start up a site like Voyeurweb and when a girl signs up to post her pics, she agrees to the terms and conditions which state by submitting pics to your site, you're free to do whatever you want with them (ie resell them). Then you re-sell these pics to webmasters as new amateur content. Is this legal? Can she sue you despite having electronically agreed to the terms and conditions? If not, what if the terms and conditions were outlined in a contract which had to be signed and mailed/faxed back?
