Digital information as an object of civil and commercial turnover at the present stage

The transformation of modern society as a result of the introduction of digital technologies required a rethinking of the essence of the legal category “object of law”, traditional for domestic jurisprudence. Thanks to the technologies under consideration, the centuries-old understanding of the object of law as a “value” that has a physical substance has changed dramatically. Along with the objects of the material world, social relations are formed about the objects of the digital space and the virtual world, which has long been predicted by physicists and engineers, and subsequently began to be actively studied by economists and jurists. This article analyzes the essence of digital information at the present stage, its place in the system of other objects of law. The conditions for its recognition as an object of law are determined. The cases of erroneous identification of a number of mathematical or digital algorithms with objects of law are divided. The classification is given and the signs of digital information, which is an object of law, are investigated. The characteristics of certain types of digital objects of law are given, in particular, Big Data, accounts, web archives, virtual property, digital twins and others. The ways of development of domestic legislation in the field of the legal regime of digital information are proposed.
