Legal regulation of the Internet

At the same time, it should be noted that in many ways the development and improvement of the regulatory framework in the relevant areas contributed to the increase of scientific interest in these issues. At the same time, many more issues need serious scientific development and reflection in legislation (for example, the legal status of Internet providers and subscribers, issues of their responsibility, legal regulation of domain names, relations in social networks, cross-border regulation, etc.).

The term “Internet law" is also commonly understood as a set of legal norms regulating relations in the field of the Internet. At the same time, one should agree with A. A. Lukyanov, who answers that Internet law can be called “a set of international and national norms regulating public relations on the Internet, regardless of belonging to any industry.”

As has already been shown by the example of Germany, legislation in the field of the Internet is characterized by an integral component, which is a set of regulatory legal prescriptions relating to various branches of law. Speaking on December 16, 2015 at the 2nd World Conference on the Internet, the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation D. A. Medvedev drew attention to the special role of international regulation of relations on the Internet: “… no country today can claim to be a university regulator of the Global Network. There are no historical merits and the current state of affairs. Therefore, we support the policy of strengthening the role of the world community in Internet governance and the development of a global policy in this area. We believe that this should be done under the auspices of leading international institutions, including the United Nations, including relying on the relevant industry organization – the International Telecommunication Union.”

Thus, from the above we can see what the legal basis of legal regulation of the Internet looks like.

The word "Internet law" abroad will not surprise anyone. Internet law, as a rule, refers to a set of legal problems related to the use of the Internet. In Germany, for example, Internet law is not considered as a branch of law, unlike media law (Medienrecht), information law (IT-Recht), telecommunications law (Telekommunikation Srecht), with which Internet law has a large number of common legal problems (such as legal issues posted in The Internet of media content and technological aspects of the organization and functioning of the Network).

At the same time, Internet law is a relatively independent area of scientific and practical activity. More than a dozen textbooks and monographs have been published on Internet law, and an independent course called "Internet law" is taught in a number of German universities. In addition, a number of universities have established research units dealing with Internet law (for example, the Department of Public Law, Security Law and Internet Law at the University of Passau, the Legal Clinic of Internet Law at the Humbol University of Berlin, etc.), while it should be noted that in Germany, and in general in Western Europe unlike Russia, there is no such strict system of division of law into branches. Thus, the Internetrecht course in Germany is taught at the Faculty of Law of the University of Westphalia. Wilhelm G. Monster, the University of Stuttgart, the University of Tübingen, the University of Leipzig, the University of Dusseldorf and other universities.
