Rozhkova M., Isaeva O. Plagiarism and self-plagiarism in scientific works at the age of digital technologies // Digital Law Journal. Vol. 3. № 2 (2022). P. 25-35.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.38044/2686-9136-2022-3-2-25-35

Abstract

As well as streamlining academic research activities, contemporary technologies provide opportunities to infringe on the intellectual property of others through plagiarism. However, plagiarism has yet to be adequately dealt with in national legislations, which either do not contain any provision in this connection or fail to adequately define the relevant terms. Moreover, there continues to be much discussion as to what plagiarism is, as well as how and in what cases it should be punishable. The situation is further complicated by the various approaches to plagiarism and the lack of consensus on whether so-called “self-plagiarism” should be treated separately from the intentional infringement of other people’s intellectual property or be deemed as a form of plagiarism. With the aim of clarifying these questions, the authors of the present paper compare different approaches taken to the problem of plagiarism and consider some contemporary approaches to plagiarism detection.

Rozhkova M., Isaeva O. Legal Protection of Photographs in the Digital Age: Russian Regulation // SHS Web Conf., Volume 109 (2021). 01032.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.1051/shsconf/202110901032

Abstract

Appeared in 1826, the photography has been much developed so far. Being mostly used for pragmatic purposes at the dawn of its existence, today, the photography is not only art, but also serves to depict a person at a certain point in time and even for personal identification. The photographs are used as evidence and as technical means of reproduction of other works of authorship. However, although the photographs have always been tacitly divided into informative and aesthetic ones, and various legal regimes of photography have already been enshrined in the Russian legislation, it is still not really clear how all those regimes relate to each other. Trying to answer that question the authors reveal problems and gaps existing in the current Russian regulation of photographs and make some proposals that could be useful for both the scientists when furthering the discussion on the topic and the legislator when developing the existing rules.

Vasilevskaya L., Rozhkova M. Provision of Escrow Services at the Absence of an Agreement: the Assessment for Compliance with the Russian Law // Cuestiones Politicas. Vol. 37, Num. 64 (2020). P. 112-123.



Abstract

Based on an analysis of the norms of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the authors studied the legal basis for the provision of a range of services by the online classified in the digital environment. Additionally, the authors studied the structure of relations arising between the buyer, seller, online classified, delivery service, and the bank. The article substantiates that there is a conditional escrow of property in the framework of the considered relations, but the fact of concluding an agreement creating an appropriate legal basis for such an escrow is not observed. The study results identify several civil law agreements, needed for the goods delivery services offered by online classifieds. The authors concluded that the relationship system built by the online classified with sellers, buyers, a delivery service, and a bank and providing for the reservation of the buyer’s money excludes the conclusion of an escrow agreement.
