The thesis explores the evolving landscape of copyright protection in the music industry, particularly in light of digital media's rise. It examines the impact of new technologies on traditional business models and argues that these innovations present opportunities for growth rather than solely challenges. The author analyzes the foundations and inefficiencies of current copyright laws, discusses proposals from legal and economic scholars, and offers original suggestions for reform. The work emphasizes the varying perceptions of copyright across different markets, including consumer and business contexts.

Silicon has been and will most probably continue to be the dominant material in semiconductor technology. Although the defect-free silicon single crystal is one of the best understood systems in materails science, its electrochemistry to many people is still a kind of "alchemy". This view is partly due to the interdisciplinary aspects of the Physics meets chemistry at the silicon-electrolyte interface.This book gives a comprehensive overview of this important aspect of silicon technology as well as examples of applications ranging from photonic crystals to biochips. It will serve materials scientists as well as engineers involved in silicon technology as a quick reference with its more than 150 technical tables and diagrams and ca. 1000 references cited for easy access of the original literature.
