In any sound system, ultimate quality depends on the speakers. The best recording, encoded on the most advanced storage device and played by a top-of-the-line deck and amplifier, will sound awful if the system is hooked up to poor speakers.
Video games have been the stuff of legend ever since they took the world by storm in the early 1980s. In fact, the video game world is so insular that you'd have to be a dedicated gamer to even hear certain myths about them.

The liberalization and international integration of electricity markets have led to a dramatic increase in the complexity of the electricity sector. Rather than hierarchical control, it is the legal framework ('rules of the game') that determines the behavior of actors such as power generators, traders, and network operators. Because of the unusual technical and economic characteristics of electricity markets, their performance is very sensitive to the formulation of the legal framework. Still, a structured approach to formulating the legal framework has not yet been developed. A Functional Legal Design for Reliable Electricity Supply meets this demand. Many questions need to be answered in the design of a legal framework for the electricity industry and often they are interdependent. This study proposes a design method for the analysis and design of the legal organization of a technically complex sector, such as the electricity industry. The method takes into account the relevant policy goals, legal constraints, and technical characteristics. While the method is developed for electricity markets, it can be applied to other technically complex infrastructures as well. The proposed method is applied to several critical cases, such as the security of electricity supply, operational security in large networks, congestion management, and the question of how to deal with merchant transmission investment. In addition to validating the proposed method, these case studies offer a wealth of practical information about the policy choices for restructuring the electricity industry.
