Abstract

A server apparatus includes a first payment-information transmitting and receiving unit and a copy-permission-information providing unit. The first payment-information transmitting and receiving unit transmits and receives, via a network with respect to an information processing apparatus capable of reproducing a medium for rental in which a content protected from copying is recorded, information about payment necessary for obtaining a copy permission of a content recorded in the medium. The copy-permission-information providing unit provides information of permitting copying of the content via the network to the information processing apparatus every time when the copy-permission-information providing unit confirms completion of the payment through the transmission and reception of the information about the payment with respect to the information processing apparatus of the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a server device and an information processing system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a server device and an information processing system that perform duplication permission management of content recorded in a medium such as a disc for rental. Background technique [0002] In recent years, many DVDs (Digital Versatile Discs), BDs (Blu-ray Disc (registered trademark)) and the like have been utilized as information recording media (mediums) for various contents such as movies and music. With regard to most of the contents such as music data, image data, etc. recorded in the information recording medium, creators, purchasers, etc. have copyrights or distribution rights. Therefore, even for a user who has purchased a disc, there is a predetermined restriction on using the contents recorded in the disc. For example, a user is not allowed to copy content recorded in a disc in a medium such as another di...
