At present, algorithms are becoming the heart of society by taking control over the decision-making process as societies are increasingly getting digitalised. There is a consistent theme that an unaccountable, black box technology has taken over the stage and is now making decisions for us, with us, and about us. But the contention around public participation in making decisions in science and technology needs to advance to a stage where there is a more direct conversation between the public and those developing the technologies. With the above mentioned conception of moderating emerging technologies’ development, primarily digital technology due to its …

In the creative industry, performers’ interests cannot be met solely through their own actions and the realization of their own creative abilities. Coordinated interaction of representatives of creative professions and show business is necessary. In this area, various kinds of agreements are concluded, which do not always relate to the exercise of intellectual rights. The Civil Code of the Russian Federation regulates in more detail the contractual relations associated with the use of works of authorship, without paying due attention to contracts with performers, producers of phonograms and broadcasting organizations, which leads to the problem of double interpretation in the …

The article analyzes the “making available” power presented in Russian copyright law, as well as the specifics of obtaining permission to use musical works and phonograms on the Internet. The right to “make available” has been known to Russian law since 2004. This eligibility appears to be very close to the traditional uses of works that existed long before the advent of the Internet. These include, in particular: public performance, broadcasting and cable retransmission. At the same time, “making available” power is presented in Russian law less fully than the indicated powers. The Civil Code of the Russian Federation describes …

The author examines a special approach to establishing the sovereignty of the state in relation to cyberspace, the extraterritorial characteristics of which determine the question of the implementation of the territorial supremacy of the state. The author concludes that the understanding of the state’s sovereignty in relation to cyberspace lies not in detailing a set of measures in the form of sovereign powers undertaken in this area, but in constructing the boundaries of cyberspace both in relation to the technical component of the network infrastructure that supports the smooth functioning of the Network, and in in relation to the virtual …

Law as a regulatory system based on the principle of formal equality in freedom is a social phenomenon immanently inherent in a technogenic civilization with its cultural matrix, in which “gene” of techne (skill based on knowledge) was rooted.
