A camera might be a camera, but the human eye is also a glorified camera. You can't post what you see online though, that's the only difference. However, everything you see, can be recorded into your memory, so you can talk about it with friends. So if the act of taking a picture that is copyrighted, so is viewing it with your eyes, because you're taking in all that information and recording it into your memory.
