Who owns the Rights to Screen captured Photo

[Highmind]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Nebraska

I have been viewing a web cam in BC, Canada online,and took some screen shots
through the web cam.
Do those photos belong to the owner of the web cam?
I am considering using some images for book.

Can you elaborate at all?

Unless expressly provided for by the owner of the images, YOU don't have the right to use them in the manner you wish.

elaboration

My request for elaboration was not a reiteration of
that I can not use the photos,but
what the laws might illiterate re/web cams and the internet. In addition this web cam is in Canada,another factor.
If you have anything that would pertain to that,I would appreciate it. Are you a lawyer?
