This discussion focuses on the idea of an information society studied in view of economic aspects. The subject matter of inquiry is a strategic sector decisive for the situation of economy, society and the state: the so-called information sector in the economy. Its importance and intrinsic value are discussed. Studies on economics of the information sector are brought to light as well as relationships with other disciplines, including economics of information (information systems) and information ecology. Based on the Polish Classification of Activities (PKD), the methodology of classification and categorization of the information sector is developed and used to evaluate its development and, indirectly, the development of the information society in Poland. Research is based on available statistics on the number of employed persons and employment in 1997-2006. It is evidenced that the information sector dominates in Poland today (in the four-sector model of the economy) and the trend of its regular growth is observed.

Data protection and information privacy are essential parts of lex informatica. The purpose of legal rules is to sustain a modern development and adjustment of the fundamental right to privacy, taking the realities of the information society into consideration. The aim is to protect the individual against misuse of personal information that may violate the private sphere and simultaneously to protect against surveillance with the purpose of governing behavior. Privacy protection is furthermore important, since personal information, which always has had economic value to a much larger degree, has become a commodity today. There are many reasons sustaining data protection, and legal regulation is very broad covering all parts of society. Merely a fragment of this issue is being considered in the following.

Communication Privacy

The article is devoted to the regulation of communication privacy, which is not only a guarantee of the individual right to confidentiality and privacy, but also a necessary condition for the collective freedom of speech, trust in communication services, which is essential for formation of the information society. The right to communication privacy with the advent of new communication technologies is being transformed and expanded, which requires updating and harmonization of the legal framework. In this regard, the purpose of the research is to reveal problems and contradictions in updating legal regulation of communication privacy, including by analyzing legislation and existent scientific approaches to the content of communication privacy, description of mechanisms for both ensuring and limiting communication privacy, as well as interaction of legal entities regarding communication privacy. The relationship between Russian and European legislation, which regulate communication privacy (ePrivacy) have been considered in this paper. The research methodology is represented by such methods as dialectical, analysis, analogies, formal-legal, comparative methods of research activity. The work demonstrates different approaches to determining the content of the right to communication privacy, expanding the range of professional subjects of communication privacy, and loosening the mechanisms for limiting this right in the direction of its expansion in the context of interrelations between subjects of legal relations concerning communication privacy.

Political Economy Approach

The overall aim of this paper is to clarify how we can theorize and systemize economic surveillance. Surveillance studies scholars like David Lyon stress that economic surveillance such as monitoring consumers or the workplace are central aspects of surveillance societies. The approach that is advanced in this work recognizes the importance of the role of the economy in contemporary surveillance societies. The paper at hand constructs theoretically founded typologies in order to systemize the existing literature of surveillance studies and to analyze examples of surveillance. Therefore, it mainly is a theoretical approach combined with illustrative examples. This contribution contains a systematic discussion of the state of the art of surveillance and clarifies how different notions treat economic aspects of surveillance. In this work it is argued that the existing literature is insufficient for studying economic surveillance. In contrast, a typology of surveillance in the modern economy, which is based on foundations of a political economy approach, allows providing a systematic analysis of economic surveillance on the basis of current developments on the Internet. Finally, some political recommendations are drawn in order to overcome economic surveillance. This contribution can be fruitful for scholars who want to undertake a systematic analysis of surveillance in the modern economy and who want to study the field of surveillance critically.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the essence of the information society and the definition of the conceptual characteristics of its legal standards. The lack of a coordinated scientific position of the theoretical interpretation of the concept of information society is stated. Scientific positions are grouped into two groups: the first group of scientists positions the information society narrowly, by generalizing it with information as the main resource of social reality. Another group of scientists expand the concept, introducing a number of additional key features. It is concluded that the considered society reflects the tendency of a new round of evolution of the world development of civilized peoples, which is connected with modern information and telecommunication technological progress. It is proved that the legal regulation of relations in the information society is designed to develop basic standards for the functioning of such a society, the creation of appropriate conditions for a person to be in such a society. The search for optimal means and methods of legal regulation can not be simple and one-sided, as it is necessary to take into account the positive and negative trends in society. It is stated that the information society can represent significant benefits for the state and the individual citizen to protect the legal values of democracy, equality, non-discrimination. The characteristics of the manifestation of legal standards of the information society are considered, in particular: transformation of established constitutional institutions and change of their manifestation; modification of the legal ideology of society; conflict of national practice and unification of international standards; expanding the understanding of the concept of "subject of law"; the emergence of a number of new generation rights or the expansion of the elemental composition of an established system of rights.

The article states that total and radical changes are taking place in society in all spheres, and legislative provision of the sphere of providing educational services in the field of higher legal education is gradually emerging; noted that the conceptual vision of the problem as a whole has not yet emerged; it is stated that human rights are on the surface of all social transformations, and the right among others belongs to the right to information, therefore the aspect of implementation and protection of personal data on the Internet, scientific substantiation, legal regulation of these rights and consolidation of their respective status are relevant; it was also noted that in the conditions of post-industrial society the issues of informatization of the Ukrainian educational space are very topical; it is a question that their decision should be made not only by dynamic methods of development of information educational environment, but also by search of new means, forms and ways of interaction of socio-cultural institutions (media and education), as well as support and evaluation of the effectiveness of the educational process in the conditions of information society; noted that today these tasks are intended to be solved by media education; formation of media competence directly concerns future jurists, since they are responsible for the transfer of knowledge and experience in practice, that is, consulting activities in the context of universal informatization; the issue of media competence of the future jurist is also being updated because the society is experiencing a discrepancy in the experience of interaction with the media in the older generation and young people; it is noted that, because of media creation, a teacher in higher education institution will be able to expand the students' view of future jurisprudence, about the media, to reveal the intellectual potential of modern information technologies and "media culture as a means for further continuous self-education"; it was stated that for a long time the portfolio was used only as an authentic evaluation of the results of the students' educational and professional achievements, but its possibilities are obviously much wider; "Web Portfolio" is a web-based resource that reflects the growth of the owner's educational or professional achievements; the value of such a web-portfolio is also evident in the issue of potential employment and in the self-presentation of oneself as a competent specialist, ready to live and work in the conditions of the information society; it was noted that the web portfolio should be put into operation of the institutions of higher education; indicated that there are also so-called "false portfolios", representing a specialist with no work experience, but with the available skills; stated that the issue of creating a web-portfolio is relevant for the higher education of future jurists; also noted that there is a danger of being "hostage" to the network and, in general, it is difficult to resist, counter, prevent and combat threatening challenges on the network.
