metadata.value: The author of the article discusses the meaning of information as an object of legal relations. In
  connection with the decisive importance of the role of “information” in all spheres of the modern
  society, the protection of the considered social good is a priority task of the state. However,
  despite the importance of information, in Russian law there is no systematic and consistent
  legislative regulation of information relations. Legislative contradictions, the lack of a unified
  terminology and a scientific approach do not contribute to the effective legal protection of the
  considered good and the formation of a uniform judicial practice. The author’s understanding
  of the term “information” as an object of legal relations has been developed on the basis of a
  system analysis of legislation and law enforcement practices, and its main features have been
  considered. The author substantiates the conclusion that information is the object of civil legal
  relations. In connection with this, it is proposed to return to Article 128 of the Civil Code of the
  Russian Federation as an indication of information as an object of civil rights and the subject
  of unauthorized access to computer information is analyzed (Article 272 of the Criminal Code
  of the Russian Federation). The subject of the crime under Article 272 of the Criminal Code is
  information, access to which is directly limited by law, as well as information in relation to which
  the holder’s requirement of restrictions on its use (access) is clearly expressed and declared
  to an indefinite number of persons. The question of classifying the information of the second
  category as a protected criminal law must be determined by a judge in each specific case. It is
  concluded that the basis of the legal protection of information is a direct indication of the law
  or the establishment by the owner of publicly available information of a procedure for handling
  it. The general availability of computer information implies the possibility of its unhindered use
  (copying, distribution), and not obstruction, destruction or modification. Criteria are proposed
  for a court to rule on the provision of legal protection to information that is not directly classified as restricted by the law and methods of unauthorized access to computer information is analyzed. In order to eliminate legal uncertainty, a new understanding of the term “legally protected
  computer information” is recommended.
