Recently a college student intern at NPR wrote a blog post admitting she had downloaded 11,000 songs without paying for any. (She copied many from her college radio station where she worked.) Her post has generated a storm of publicity. While this doesn't mention fair use, it does show the current attitude of many towards copyright and dowloading music - and by extension movies, TV shows, etc. - they don't pay for. A moving response arguing this hurts artists more than anyone was written by musician David Lowery. The New York Times among others has covered the controversy.
