Naturaleza jurídica y herencia de la propiedad virtual en Ucrania y el mundo: situación actual, problemas, perspectivas
Resumen
Durante los últimos años ha crecido el interés en la herencia digital. Tarde o temprano, los usuarios de redes sociales o juegos en línea comienzan a pensar en el estado de sus activos virtuales, sobre todo cuando adquieren un gran valor luego de que los usuarios hayan dedicado mucho tiempo a ganarlos. Sin embargo, la legislación sobre herencia digital sigue siendo imperfecta o no responde a la pregunta de qué sucede con la propiedad digital después de la muerte. El estudio tuvo como objetivo describir la situación en el campo de la herencia digital a través de los conceptos de propiedad virtual y objetos informáticos. En particular, este estudio utiliza métodos sistémicos, formal-legales y hermenéuticos para describir el estado del arte en el área de la propiedad virtual y la herencia digital a través de la lente de la jurisprudencia. Los resultados encontrados sugieren que la herencia digital es un problema creciente debido a una legislación imperfecta o ausente, que no concuerda con el papel y la importancia del actual mundo virtual y de los activos digitales ahí generados. Se ha constatado que las decisiones judiciales marcan la pauta para el desarrollo del proceso legislativo en este campo, aunque por el momento solo estamos en el comienzo de la creación de una legislación sólida y armonizada hacia la herencia digital. También se determina que el concepto de propiedad virtual no contradice los principios generales del derecho civil, que se pueden aplicar en el contexto de la herencia digital.
