Voyeurism: I see you!

My word is voyeurism, and here are some really interesting facts I found about it on the library site.First, I first looked up the term voyeurism on the Oxford dictionary to find out what it means. Voyeurism-"1924 J. S. VAN TESLAAR tr. Stekel's Disorders of Instincts & Emotions II. 341 Voyeurism, erotic gratification experienced at looking at another's sexual organs; morbid desire to peep into secrets. "In Greek it means scopophilia. In addition, I found the following piece of information to be very interesting since I see a lot of actors and actresses in nude acts on television. The dictionary also states that, "1969 Daily Tel. 25 Apr. 19/5 there is a feeling that more and more actresses are being asked to take their clothes off at auditions. As a form of voyeurism. "(Wow!) Next, I checked out the date chart to find the time in which this word was first discovered. The data chart showed it started being used around 1924-1985. I decided to find a book that contains voyeurism. I found an electronic book that is titled, "Video Voyeurism Prevention Act of 2003", presented by representatives Ovley, Gonzalez, Goode, and Baird. The purpose of this act is to prevent individuals from taping others privacy with out their consent, or them knowing. The article goes into explaining why camera phones, video cameras, combined with the Internet has provided a great threat to adults, teenagers, and even children . That there have been numerous reports of violating privacy across the country!The punishment for this spiteful crime , " punishable by a fine of not more than One hundred thousand dollars or imprisonment for up to one year , or both."(Video Voyeruism Prevention p.1 ) In my opinion, this punishment does not seem to fit the crime. I think that a person’s privacy is worth much more than 100,000 dollars or even a year in jail. Moreover, the humiliation and the pain that a person might go through once he or she finds out that they have been taped and put on the Internet for the world to see! I also found a TV show that contains voyeurism in the media section, Alfred Hitchcock show. I'm already aquainted with Alfred Hitchcock shows because I’m always watching it on the Chiller channel. I found two other interesting novels: Privacy lost : How technology is endangering your privacy by David H. Holtzman, and Dirty Windows by Merry Alpern that contain voyeurism.
