Abstract
A server includes a memory that stores unique identification information of an optical disc that stores at least one content data. The server also includes a receiver that receives user account information and the unique identification information from a user terminal. A processor performs an authentication of the user terminal for a transfer of the at least one content data based on a reception by the server of the unique identification information and the user account information from the user terminal. Further, the processor associates the user account information with the unique identification information upon a determination that the unique identification information has not previously been registered by the server based on the reception of the user account information and the unique identification information. A transmitter sends an authentication result to authorize the transfer of the at least one content data, in response to the authentication of the user terminal.
