PURPOSE: To regulate the number of reproducing times of chargeable information. CONSTITUTION: When video software is to be transmitted to be charged from a transmitter 1 via a cable TV line 2 to, for example, a domestic video tape recorder 3, video software and its desired reproducing times are notified by the user over a telephone 9 to the supplier, and a video signal of the specified video software and information of limited reproducing times are transmitted by the supplier to the user. Since the information of limited reproducing times is different from other each individual video software, an IC memory 6 for recording this information is added to a video cassette 5. The video software is recorded by the user, and whenever it is reproduced, one time is subtracted from allowable reproducing times in the information of the limited reproducing times, and when the allowable reproducing times becomes zero, the reproduction of the video signal is stopped by a reproducing circuit 7. |
