Digital law: features of the digital environment and subjects

The article is devoted to the development of the theoretical foundation of the concept of digital law. The author concludes that digital law is a certain result of the process of digitalization of law, and in fact it represents a new form of existence of a legal system, obtained in the process of deep penetration of information and communication technologies into public life. Digital law inherits the features of classical law (communication with the state, regulatory nature and others), but has a number of differences from classical law, due to the features of the digital environment (the ability to accurately copy and disseminate information, idem potency of information addition) and virtual space (global, cross-border and others). These changes are illustrated in the article by the example of subjects of law, the composition of which is expanding due to the emergence of different types of virtual entities.
