Although, for the industry. Any "upskirt" or like shots should not be made illegal or banned. If it's a serious buisness, paper work is filed and there are contracts for the photos.

As to the nature of the legislation, obviously this all comes down to whether or not the subject consents to the photos, and also (of course) documentation as described above. This after all is the purpose of model releases, is it not?
If a person is being upskirted without their consent, that is stalking. It doesn't entail the potential for violence that the traditional connotation of the word entails, but it is still an invasion of privacy.
If this holds true, then there isn't anything to worry about vis-a-vis "upskirt" shots that have associated documentation. The legislation is dead in the water.
The smart thing to do, assuming that the legislation does not try to nullify legal upskirt shooting, is to support the legislation. Any other position calls into question the legitmacy of ANY 2257-compliant content.
