The basics is more than enough
I am so tempted to just tell you all your loopholes. But I'm planning to retire from the scene. So I'll just do the basics.
If your friend-with-legal-knowledge hasn't told you yet-
I:: when u download his private pic for public (discriminating) use like that in Camo's blog, you might already doing something illegal. His pic may be on a public site, but the rights to use the pic belongs to him, NOT YOU. Not even when you host it on your own site to put it up at your own blog.
II:: photography laws aren't as 'fixed' like other kinds of laws but in general the laws
"recognize that individuals have a right of privacy. The right of privacy gives an individual a legal claim against someone who intrudes on the individual's physical solitude or seclusion, and against those who publicly disclose private facts. Unless you have permission, avoid publishing or distributing any photo of an individual that reveals private facts about the individual (particularly if revealing those private facts might embarrass the individual)."
(The general rule of thumb applies to your screen shots as well.)
I'm surprised your friend could advise/tell u so much but missed these basic stuff. Everything else that happens after that can be deemed pretty useless, despite all the debates.
That 21-year-old might be wrong to do what he did on the webcam with you, but if he's "stupid and rich and petty enough", I'm almost sure he stands an equal, if not higher, chance of suing your butt off too.
