A device ( 10 ) for recording content onto a medium ( 14 ) includes a processor ( 22 ) which is configured to read a first code ( 16 ) embedded in the medium ( 14 ), a second code embedded in a memory ( 12 ) of the recording device ( 10 ), and a third code embedded in the content ( 18 ). The processor ( 22 ) compares the three codes and allows recordation of the content ( 18 ) onto the medium ( 14 ) when the three codes are identical. The three codes are region codes indicative of the region of broadcast of the content ( 18 ), the broadcast time or the time zone of the region of broadcast. The recording device ( 10 ) prevents recordation when a content code included in the content ( 18 ) does not match the other two codes or their difference is greater than a predetermined amount.
