 I disagree that it has a limited market.  It is a widely indulged in
activity but rarely appears in the mainstream press and is rarely
discussed.  With regard to the Internet sites such as:-

                  http://www.voymaster.com/

 and associated postings in newsgroups appear to be 100% genuine.

 What is referred to as "down blouse" or "upskirt" or "x-ray"
photography (which reveals the naked form under the clothes) has only
recently been legislated against in California 

  http://republican.sen.ca.gov/opeds/33/oped997.asp

while similar legislation is being considered in the United Kingdom,
However in much of the world and in most states of the American Union
such activity is legal.
