CONTENTS PROCESSING SYSTEM, CONTENTS PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM

摘要

A contents processing system and method is disclosed which is arranged to record copyright protected content so as to be owned by a plurality of AV apparatus. The plurality of AV apparatus having a digital broadcast reception function and a content recording function cooperate with each other via a network such that they operate virtually as a single information processing apparatus. When copy-once copyright protected content is to be reserved for recording, a required quantity of the content is designated on a GUI. Consequently, the same content is recorded by the plural number of apparatus such that each copy is owned by the apparatus. Any of the plural number of contents can be moved to another apparatus in accordance with a setting on the GUI.
