Abstract: The research subject is the modern problems of intangible benefits and personal non-property rights protection. With the development of information environment, new forms and types of offences have occurred, which trench on intangible benefits of citizens via the Internet. Such offences have become especially dangerous for people, and Internet-resources can be characterized as the source of increased danger. The author studies the problems of the so-called “commoditization” or “tradability” of some types of intangible benefits and personal non-property rights and the lack of legal grounds for the estimation of such circumstances as significant for the estimation of the compensation for moral injury. The research methodology is based on general scientific and specific methods and generalization of normative materials and judicial practice. The scientific novelty of the study consists in the task to analyze the new forms and types of trenching on intangible benefits and personal non-property rights in information environment and to offers the ways to solve the detected problems. The author elaborates the set of measures. He offers to use the approach to the analysis of intangible benefits and personal non-property rights based on the presence or absence of a specific power (right to consent); to introduce an alternative unified compensation for the infringement of intangible benefits and personal non-property rights (apart from compensation for moral injury); to divide compensation for moral injury into two types: the main and the qualified; to introduce the formalized minimum amount of compensation for moral injury.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the topical issues of determination of the order and size of compensation for moral damage. The goal of this article consists in improving protection of the intangible benefits and personal non-property rights. The author formulates a set of measures that allow solving the issues identified in the course of the research. Particularly, in determining the order and measure of compensation for moral damage for violating the intangible benefits and personal non-property rights, the author suggests to rely upon the developed principles, additional criteria and rules. For reducing the number of violations in the information sphere, it is necessary to introduce a separate type of responsibility – the unified compensation for violating the intangible benefits and personal non-property rights (besides the compensation for moral damage). Compensation for moral damage should be divided into the two subtypes: main and qualified. The article also offers the methodology of identification and documentation of the individual peculiarities of a person and other circumstances worthy of attention in establishing the size of compensation for moral damage, as well as other suggestions of theoretical nature and practical measures. The scientific novelty of this study lies in the fact that the formulated suggestions allow revealing the content of the “circumstances worthy of attention”, solve the problem of objectification of determining the size of compensation for moral damage, as well as help minimizing the negative impact of subjectivity of the judicial discretion. The conclusions can be used for improving the conceptual apparatus and legal norm, practical application in court disputes associated with protection of the intangible benefits and personal non-property rights.
