Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are provided to manage the replication of contest recording media by assigning unique identifiers for content and media, and manage a database of records corresponding to the unique identifiers which include information related to the use of the unique identifiers. In addition, methods and apparatuses are provided for responding to content copy authorization requests, and are synergistically integrated with media replication management methods and apparatuses by using the same database of records corresponding to unique identifiers as a basis for such responses.
