Recording Device and Recording Method

摘要

To prevent the user from moving a content on a bound recording medium to another storage medium more than the maximum number of times permitted by its copyright holder. A recorder includes: a bound recording section for bound-recording at least one data file and at least one management information file for a content; a control section for giving an instruction to move the content to a storage medium; and a drive for recording the content's data on the storage medium. The management information file includes access information for accessing the data file. In response to the instruction to move, the bound recording section reads the data file of the content in accordance with the access information and outputs the content's data, the drive records the content's data on the storage medium, and the control section makes the access information unavailable.
