<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of managing an expiration period of information and erasing expired information for permitting temporary recording and copying of copy-prohibited information or copy-once information and preventing the copied medium from being used against the intention of an author. Ž<P>SOLUTION: As a condition for allowing temporary recording, a storage period for showing the validity period in the recording medium, a viewing period for showing the validity period after reproduction, and a copy period for permitting copy to the other medium are set. The copy-prohibited information can be moved to the other medium under the condition that the information on the medium is erased. The expired information is erased based on the predetermined rule. Moreover, use conditions are strongly managed by limiting the number of times of movement and reproduction of information. Ž<P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT Ž
