Morally blameworthy for what? What harm has there been? There's some crimes that cause harm even if the perpetrator hasn't been caught, but peeping isn't one of them.

But I can see what you mean in that those kinds of things being public is a privacy issue, but as I said that's a general harm from the media making it into the public in general, the harm doesn't change because person x does or does not view the video. And like I asked before, if there was a magic button to be pressed that could remove all of a certain image or video from existence, is that something that should be used?
