Consider for instance, the viewer who “...listens to a debate on the need to limit wages but ‘reads’ every mention of the ‘national interest’ as a ‘class interest’” (p. 138). In a similar light, Mackay (1997) made the claim that “...despite the work of cultural intermediaries in design, advertising and marketing, there is space for creative (albeit circumscribed) consumption, resistance and transformation” (p. 271).

Regulation Though the moment of regulation will not be explored in depth for this study, it is worth briefly describing how it is understood in regard to the circuit of culture. The term regulation can mean a wide variety of things when described in a particular context. According to Thompson (1997), regulation is a “dynamic process” and it does not routinely reproduce the status quo (p. 3).

In their study of Napster, Taylor et al. (2002) explored the moment of regulation and claim that the music-sharing site was put under serious legal regulation (p. 622). They claim that Napster’s regulation was controlled by the “logic of capital.” “One example involved the recording industry’s decision in 1999 to sue Napster itself, and not its individual users” (p. 622). 42
