Måns Svensson and Stefan Larsson at Lund University have done some fantastic work on filesharing that have empirical findings related to surveillance.  For instance, they have a 2012 New Media and Society piece titled "Intellectual property law compliance in Europe: Illegal file sharing and the role of social norms" that looks at the implementation of IPRED. The piece is focused on the issue of social norms, but as a side finding shows changes in behavior. They have other work in this area as well - see the Cybernorms working group, http://cybernormer.se/about-us/

The PEN America's report is one good example[1], but I would also like to have research based on a wider demography, not well known authors and journalists.
