In record or content control management systems, various selected reference, record control, copy protection or control information signals, or other signifiers, are used to identify control signals, for example, bits, to provide control of subsequent use of data, audio and video signals in the analog and digital domain. Method and apparatus are disclosed for modifying the effects of a content control system as well as for modifying an effect of a copy protection signal. To this end, the reference, record control, copy protection signals, or other control information signals, e.g., content control signals, may be modified to cause an erroneous or unintended reading subsequently of the reference or control signals which in turn correspondingly afters the control command of the record or content control system. Further, where a copy protection signal is being used as a control signal, a modification may be made to the copy protection signal to alter the subsequently generated control command while still maintaining copy protection effects in the analog domain and allowing recording in the digital domain. Also, included are unique methods for providing content control.
