Abstract

A content distribution system in which content transmission/reception is suppressed when there is a high risk of contents being stolen by a third party during communication. A content server acquires a communication distance indicating how far the content server is from a terminal in data communication. The content server conducts content transmission/reception when the communication distance is less than or equal to a predetermined value, and suppresses content transmission/reception when the communication distance exceeds the predetermined value.
