INFORMATIONSVERARBEITUNGSVORRICHTUNG UND -METHODE, UND PROGRAMMSPEICHERMEDIUM

摘要

A contents database 114 memorizes the discriminating information for discriminating contents and the temporal information as to the time of content duplication associated with the discriminating information. A recording program 113 acquires the discriminating information of contents to be duplicated and duplicates the contents in association with the acquired discriminating information and with the temporal information memorized in the contents database 114. This substantially prohibits duplication in large quantities without significantly impairing the interests of a user.
