Confl ict Regulation in Digital Rights Circulation

In legal science, the topic of digital rights has become more relevant than ever. This can be explained by the adoption of new laws regulating their turnover, as well as the significant difference between regulation in Russia and regulation in similar foreign legal institutions. At the same time, in domestic legal science, insufficient attention is given to issues of private international law in this area, although any civil turnover in the digital environment is cross-border and consists of foreign elements. In this regard, the author investigated the existing conflict of laws rules and their correlation with new legal relations arising from the circulation of digital rights. Within the framework of the paper, the author singles out two types of digital rights existing in the law of the Russian Federation and considers some issues of law applicable to legal relations arising in connection with their circulation. In particular, connecting factors typical for digital utility rights and digital financial assets are considered separately. For comparison, examples of applicable law used in foreign countries are given. In addition, the author shares his reasoning about the consequences of too "dense" tying the circulation of digital rights to the Russian legal order.
