Yes, but interestingly the neighbouring, more rural regions of the Ruhr, like the Sauerland or Bergisches Land, have a higher industrialization rate (about 25% of the workforce) than the Ruhr. So while the urban region Ruhr has a large service sector, the rural regions south and southeast have not, and there the industrial sector is comparatively large.
It is even the largest sector in Europe's largest industrial agglomeration, the Ruhrgebiet (Ruhr Basin). Once famous for its steel, now 40% of the workforce in the Ruhrgebiet work in services, and only 16% are still working in the industrial sector.
Relevant for us are Sections 31-44, which deal with the Usage Rights (Nutzungsrechten).
31 states:
(1) Der Urheber kann einem anderen das Recht einräumen, das Werk auf einzelne oder alle Nutzungsarten zu nutzen (Nutzungsrecht). Das Nutzungsrecht kann als einfaches oder ausschließliches Recht sowie räumlich, zeitlich oder inhaltlich beschränkt eingeräumt werden.
(1) The Author can transfer the Right to use the Work for a single usage or all usages (Usage Right). The Usage Right can be transferred as simple right or exclusive right, and it can be limited locally, timely or with regard to contents.
There is no copyright under the Berne Convention. There is an Author, and because of his authorship he has complete control over his work. He can agree that another entity makes usage of his work, but in general each usage has to be explicitely agreed on. At least this is the case in the german Urheberrecht.
They are at least according to the german Urheberrechtsgesetz (UrhG). Every usage that was not explicitely agreed on beforehand is up to the original author(s) to permit or to deny.
An additional remark: That's why the Berne Convention does not define "copyright", but "author's right". And this right is considered natural and tied to the author or the authors. Similar to the fact that you can't sell yourself legally into slavery in most countries, an author can't legally sign away his Author's right away under the Berne convention.
It is. The publisher only gets the publishing rights. If he want to put the work in question in a collection, he has to ask the author again. If he wants to make a audiobook, he has to ask the author again. If he wants to base a movie on the work, he has to ask the author again etc.pp.
Strangely enough, book publishing is one area where by convention the author usually DOESN'T own the copyright, but the person who paid for it (publisher) does!
That is only true for the anglophone world. In the states which signed the Berne Convention, the author retains his rights infinitely.
There was a study done by the german computer magazine c't some years ago. Result: While all participants were music semiprofessionals, their rate of correct attribution to the right source was only slightly above random chance, with the best one being someone with impaired hearing and thus a different reception than a normal person, who was pretty good in spotting the MP3. With higher bitrates for MP3, they even got worse than random chance.
There never was a country with the name "East Germany". This was and still is a merely colloquial used term. The official name was, despite its inherent sarcasm, "German Democratic Republic (G.D.R.)", and within East Germany this was the only officiall used term. The officially used term in the western part of Germany for East Germany was first "Soviet Zone", then "so called G.D.R.", and later, after the Grundlagenvertrag (Basic Treaty), it was just "G.D.R.".
Differently than the examples you mentioned (Siam et. al.) the term "East Germany" thus was never used in any documents or contracts.
So to suggest that there once was a time, when "East Germany" was correctly used, and now there is a time, where it is not, is simply wrong.
Pretty well, they are currently holding at 14 medals. It's not easy to count the medals in the team competitions though, because some of the teams consist of east and west germans.
But you will run into similar difficulties if you try to determine the sportive achievements of Scotland or Belarus. While Scotland has their own governing body for instance in Soccer, Golf or motor sports (no, there is no "UK national soccer team"), to other events the UK sends a common team, e.g. to the Olympics.
And Belarus, despite being part of the Soviet Union until 1992, always had their own national soccer team (if you don't believe me, look it up!).
I never claimed a state "East Germany" would still exists, even if you try to misunderstand me the whole time. Missing reading lessons? I just said that "East Germany" is still a well defined and often used term for different purposes. The official German term for East Germany is "the New Federal States" btw..
So you lose because of having no clue and limited reading capabilities.
As someone actually born there I tell you: East Germany is still a term often used, and polls in Germany also often make a difference between answers in West Germany and East Germany. Take it or leave it. But don't try to tell me about East Germany.:)
Slovenia only became independent in 1991, so I don't think they had solid statistics in 1991. The same goes for the former Soviet Union, which dissolved in 1992. I remember when the first political preference polls for East Germany were published in 1990, which were completely off and predicted anything but the results of the elections in March 1990. It seems as if the polls were mainly done in East Berlin and the surroundings, where the polls indeed reflected the outcome of the elections.
It takes some time until the polling companies have a good idea how to select a representative number of people to poll in a region.
Why? East Germany is still a clearly defined region, consisting of the five German bundesländer Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Saxony-Anhalt, Brandenburg, Thuringia and Saxony and the eastern districts of Berlin. Just because they aren't a souvereign state (they never were in fact;) ) doesn't mean you can't poll the population living there.

... which are covered by Art 5(2): "These rights shall find their limits in [...] the right to personal honour."
And they are covered in Art 1(1): "The dignity of Man is untouchable. To respect it and to protect it is the obligation of all governmental power."
They are terrorists in the same sense that Japan is whalehunting for scientific reasons.

If you understand any German, here is the original law:

The Korean I know did it. And she never learned any Chinese.
As long as the toenail.el is published under the GPL we are fine here.
Or the crime rates actually drop when people think crime is a problem, and they raise as soon as people don't care as much anymore.
Here is a translation: click
Does this means that people that can't talk to each other can write instead?
Yes. A Korean might be able to read a chinese newspaper without knowing a single word in any Chinese language.

Evolution isn't going some place, it doesn't have a direction, so it is a bit misleading to talk about how fast it is going.
That's not entirely correct. You can for instance not give a direction for Brownian Motion. But you can give its speed (it is called temperature).
Same for Evolution. While you can't predict the changes it will yield, you can measure the speed of change.
It also found that the "ubermensch" has an average IQ of 103.
Which is per definitionem above average for all, because the average IQ is defined to be 100.

It is most often sufficient to delete the Serial Port in the Device Manager and then run a scan for new hardware.

Then my stats are somewhat outdated (at least 10 years old). So I'll put East Germany then at 80% and Israel at 40% (numbers pulled out of my ass).
