Information recording apparatus, information recording method, information reproducing apparatus, information reproducing method, and information recording medium

摘要

Recording information is recorded after adding reproducing limit information for controlling the number of reproducing times to the recording information and embedding the identical reproducing limit information thereon separately from the above in a way of preventing illegal detection. Then, after confirming a coincidence between the reproducing limit information added and the reproducing limit information embedded, the recording information is controlled to be supplied to an external source according to the same reproducing limit information.
