Indeed throughout the last five years, Sky has always been the driving force behind making the UK the world leader in digital television, and I fully expect Sky to build on its market leadership to deliver increased financial and operational strength over the next year. The winning formula of offering an unrivalled entertainment product combined with excellent customer service has helped Sky to win many new customers and maintain world-class levels of customer loyalty. As a result, by the end of June 2003, Sky digital had reached over 6.8 million subscribers and succeeded in consistently outperforming its operational targets. With the Company poised to sign up its seven millionth customer later this calendar year, the focus is now on returning to, and exceeding, the levels of profitability previously achieved in analogue.

Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 Twelfth Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: In the Matter ofDigital Audio broadcasting Systems and Their Impact on Terrestrial Radio Broadcast Service MM Docket No. 99-325 Dear Ms. Dortch: Pursuant to Section 1. 1206(b) ofthe Commission's rules, the Recording Industry Association ofAmerica, Inc. ("RIAA") through undersigned counsel, hereby submits the attached material in support ofcontent protection rules for digital audio broadcasting ("DAB") in the above-reference proceeding. 1. In its Comments and Reply Comments in this proceeding, RIAA provided extensive evidence and analysis that DAB without content protection will enable consumers to record and retain large personal collections ofsound recordings broadcast on DAB without having to pay for the content and that DAB without content protection will provide a better vehicle than unauthorized peer-to­ peer services for copying the same variety ofmusic. The attached press release and advertisement provide additional support for RIAA's position. As the press release demonstrates, consumers who have abandoned illegal Internet downloading ofmusic in recent years because ofthe risk ofprosecution are eager to find new and flexible ways to obtain sound recordings without having to pay the copyright owners. Software recently introduced allows consumers to automatically search the Internet for radio stations and record songs as MP3 files; eliminate and reduce overlap at the beginning and end ofsongs; play songs on a personal computer; and bum songs onto CDs.

We assessed gambling advertisements that appeared in September and October 2007 in a sample of the national press, consumer magazines, outdoor posters, direct mailings, circulars and the Internet and on TV and radio against the relevant Codes. The survey was timed to coincide with the recent Code changes related to advertisements for gambling products and services. The survey targeted ads across all media, identifying problems and specifically any obvious breaches of the Codes. The Compliance team found that seven of the 784 advertisements (1%) seemed to breach the CAP or BCAP Codes, a compliance rate of 99%. During the survey the ASA received complaints about a TV advertisement. The ASA investigated the complaints and adjudicated that the advertisement was acceptable. If it found a probable breach, the Compliance team contacted the advertiser, told it to ensure all advertisements complied fully with the relevant Code and to withdraw the advertisement.

The Compliance team assessed alcohol ads that appeared in certain non- broadcast or broadcast media during the period before Christmas in December 2007. The pre-Christmas sample period mirrored that of the December 2006 alcohol survey, which was published in September 2007. This survey included online and radio ads whereas the 2006 one did not. Of the 463 ads assessed, 377 appeared in non-broadcast media (national press, magazines, online and posters) and 86 appeared in broadcast media (TV and radio). We have not included duplicates of ads that we found more than once in the results of the survey.

This thesis attempts to redress this imbalance through a study of the relationships between high and low musical cultures. Starting from the separation of highbrow and lowbrow, the concepts of genre and musical taste are considered in relation to their connections to social hierarchies, leading to an analysis of what happens when they hybridise.
