That's like saying "until people start demanding safety on cars and become willing to pay for it there will always be fatalities". Sure part of the blame is on the consumer, but maybe the company shouldn't be selling cameras that are inherently insecure.
These types of things typically play out with lawsuits which increase liability for the producers. The problem is that it's (currently) difficult to prove damages when it's only privacy.

Nader later successfully sued GM for excessive invasion of privacy. It was the money from this case that allowed him to lobby for consumer rights, leading to the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Clean Air Act, among other things."
- Aelinsaar 10y agoThat's exactly what happened with safety in automobiles; remember Ralph Nader?
