Description
Summary:Purpose. The purpose of the article is to define the concept of “digital things”, “objects of civil rights”, “digital relations” and to clarify the issue of the mechanism of circulation of digital things in civil circulation. The article substantiates the thesis that the successful consolidation of digital things in the Central Committee of Ukraine is the legislator’s perception of the category “good”, through which a digital thing is defined. Yes, Art. 179-1 of the Civil Code of Ukraine establishes: a digital thing is a good that is created and exists exclusively in the digital environment and has property value. Methodology. The methodology includes a comprehensive analysis and generalization of the available scientific and theoretical material and the formulation of appropriate conclusions and recommendations. During the research, the following methods of scientific knowledge were used: terminological, dialectical, logical-semantic, logical-normative, system-structural. Results. In the course of the conducted research, the concept of “digital thing” was defined. It has been proven that a digital thing is a good that is created and exists exclusively in a digital environment and has property value. It is emphasized that the digital thing is not a new object of civil rights, but only an additional established name of long-known and even traditional objects of civil rights. Therefore, given the above properties of digital things, it is quite permissible to consider them as a special kind of incorporeal things – digital things, or quasi-things. Scientific novelty. In the process of research, it was established that when it comes to a digital thing as a good that is created and exists exclusively in a digital environment, accordingly, the property regime can be extended to these objects, since their properties differ from information in its established sense and approach by signs to the things of the material world. Practical significance. The results of the research can be used in law-making activities for the purpose of legal regulation of civil relations.
