Information recording medium manufacturing control system, information processing apparatus and method, and computer program thereof

摘要

A system, apparatus and method for prevention of unauthorized manufacture and distribution of information recording media containing content, in which an information recording medium manufacturing entity (103) transmits a key information issue request (152) to a key information issue entity (104). The key information issue request (152) is created based on an information recording medium manufacturing request (151) issued by a content rights owner (102). The key information issue entity (104) verifies authenticity of the key information issue request (152) and, depending on the legitimacy acknowledged as a result of such verification, issues a key information (153) for storing the content into the information recording medium (110). Manufacturing of discs or media containing improperly acquired content is prevented because the key information cannot be obtained for content acquired through unauthorized channels. <IMAGE>
