Abstract
Information recording and playback apparatus, content management method, and content management program. When data of copyright-protected content is recorded in a general-purpose HDD, illegal copying of the content is prevented. Each time when content is recorded in the HDD and when content recorded in the HDD is moved to a Blu-ray disc (BD), a random number output section outputs unique verification information (a random number) and overwrites the unique verification information in the corresponding verification files of the HDD and an EEPROM. Then, when the content recorded in the HDD is to be moved to the BD, a verification section verifies the verification information (random number) recorded in the verification file of the HDD against the verification information (the random number) recorded in the verification file of the EEPROM, and permits the movement of the associated content only when they match.
