At UCSB, the issue does not exist because we have no user-accessible web servers. If they want to run a webcam, they have to serve the images off their own PC, and then it is only a problem for us if they use a ton of bandwidth.
I would think you could put a policy in place that says they can't use your public web servers for webcam hosting...

Subject: Webcams....
Hi everyone...
We've recently begun to encounter the webcam phenomenon... Here's what
we're seeing:
Users are setting up webcams, and configuring them to upload images via ftp
to our web servers every 4 seconds. This has really begun to tax the
resources of our servers. So my questions to you all are these:
How do you handle webcams? Do you have policies that address the
cameras? Do you have technical solutions that resolve the issue?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
-Rick
