Multivalent regime of digital information protection

Summary/Abstract: Since ancient times, information has been a valuable „good”, a authentic tool for gaining or consolidating a preemptive position in the social, state or business structure. For this reason, over time, anyone who wanted to control a state system, strategical in military, political, economic terms or in terms of social positioning, was drawn by the idea of acquiring some valuable information, unavailable to others. That is why in England the famous saying was issued, according to which „an informed man wins twice”, and in the United States of America it was consecrated the proverb regarding the fact that „information is power”. In modern times, information has experienced a proliferation and development, in structure and in message, unprecedented in history, to this effect fully contributing the development of digital technology, starting, especially, with the seventh decade of the last century. Therefore, digital information is currently an indispensable element of interpersonal relations, being characterized by the speed and ease with which it is sent from one side of the planet to the other, in real time.We cannot imagine the modern world without the electronic means of data transmission, a fact that represents an enormous gain of the modern society. That is why it is considered that information represents an element of imposition in the market, in the age when the computer is used in most fields of activity, which makes the holder of the informational elements to be considered as having a „strong” position in the market. That is precisely why, almost immediately after the development of the information transmission digital technologies, the objective and urgent need for the development of legal means of protection and of guaranteeing of the „personalization” of computer data was raised for discussion, in the most serious way, as an aspect that outlines the guaranteeing of the right to exclusive possession, use, transmission, preservation, exploitation of databases, in which information with valuable content is structured. Information has played and will always play one of the most important roles in the development and diversification of a country’s economic sectors. Information has its own value, but once it is developed, issued, collected, archived, organized, evaluated, preserved and presented methodically, its value increases. In the modern era, information is structured, being constituted in a well-defined organizational system, called a database, through which information is correlated with other information, and by this functional connection it enhances its relevance and its value.
