The article provides an analysis of the features of the legal regulation of copyright protection and the control of the distribution of the prohibited content on the Internet. Copyright violation and distribution of the prohibited content are considered by the author as two sides of the same problem – the illegal use of information on the Internet. Despite the close attention received from legislators, law enforcers, Internet-based businessmen, journalists, bloggers and regular users of Internet resources, the amount of whom is becoming larger from year to year, this problem still remains unsolved up to date, so the urgency of development of its legislative solution is unquestionable. The objective of the work presented is to seek effective legal regulation of Internet relations connected to the protection of authors' rights and the fight against the distribution of illegal (hazardous) content. In order to achieve this objective the author analyses the Russian legislative framework, refers to international and foreign experience and views the positions of representatives of various sciences related to the Internet, especially legal scholars and political scientists. Various categories of Internet-based information, which are regulated under the Russian legal system, are considered in this article. The potential of existing technologies to restrict access to Internet resources is analyzed. The results of the study of different views on the mentioned problems are presented, and solutions for their resolution are offered, which is of scientific and social interest. The scientific novelty and relevance of the study are that in order to address the problem of copyright control and the distribution of illegal content on the Internet, it proposes an integrated approach, combining legislative restriction of access to relevant information with opening an active dialog with the Internet community and business in the area of Internet communications.

The article discusses the problems related to the implementation of the legal impact on modern Russia and the role of the principles of law as the underlying idea behind that impact. This research aims to structure visions of the main characteristics and classifications of the principles of law in the context of their formalization. The authors use the method of technical analysis of regulations, which is important to meet the requirements of legal engineering. As a result of the work carried out, the authors suggest that, on the one hand, it is important to aim at the standardization of the principles of law as accurately and accurately as possible in legislation. On the other hand, they assume that principles that are already assured in legislation but have not yet been recognized by the scientific community must also obtain an assessment and justified characteristics in the doctrine. They conclude that, from a technical-legal point of view, a principle of law that is not scientifically recognized does not disappear from the legal framework if it is institutionalized as such in effective legislation. On the contrary, essentially new principles enshrined in legislation should not be ignored by legal science.

This article considers a modern information trend, namely the formation of a digital profile in Russia, which gave rise to a scientific discussion about its positive and negative aspects especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study puts forward and substantiates a hypothesis that digital profiles are an administrative and legal mode of this special information object. This administrative and legal regime consists of the objectives and principles of functioning and protection of this object, a digital profile as an object of the regime, and tools for the legal support of its functioning, i.e. regulatory rules and administrative procedures for the use and security of this object. Filling these components with legal content will allow forming the regulatory structure of a digital profile belonging to a person and other subjects of public relations.
