What if the webcam is near my bed, and the motion it's detecting is me and my girlfriend on said bed... Don't i have grounds to sue you for? Especially if you've written a program to send the video elsewhere without my consent?
Your idea is to write a program to invade people's privacy, as a playful joke... Warning: Not everybody will get it. I even go as far as to speculate that nobody will get it, unless "getting it" means they think that you're invading their privacy and should never be allowed near a computer again...
I think your idea has an interesting concept, but as far as putting this on people's computers when they don't know what it does, it's just wrong.
Maybe you could modify your project idea to be a screensave that displayed a random screen shot from your website where people could upload photos they wanted to be included ... develop this part in PHP/MySQL and have people submit things categorizing them to their particular group "University of Maine" for instance and let the users choose from what category their screensaver will display images from...
