By being here, you consent to the recording and broadcast of your image. Founded last May by two documentary producers, LiveWave Inc. has placed cameras in nine venues in Boston as part of a mission to establish a live, interactive video programming network for Internet users and broadcast television. Motivated by their love of the sea, Peter Mottur and Debra Lipsett started by streaming live video of Narragansett Bay. Next month, the company will debut an interactive talk show on Fox Sports New England. The business, which derives revenue by selling syndication rights to networks like the Discovery Channel, is expanding into the New York market in the fall.
Consumers pay nothing to log onto the site or even to control the robotic cameras.

Paul Barclay, the club's owner, said he agreed to install the web cam two weeks ago as a unique marketing tool that allows his customers to listen to popular bands from their homes and to check out the party scene. It seems to have multiple purposes. During the day, it seems to be voyeuristic.
