Abstract
A transmission apparatus for transmitting content data to a receiving apparatus includes an establishing unit configured to establish a state where the content data can be transmitted to the receiving apparatus, a reception unit configured to receive a transmission request of the content data from the receiving apparatus in the established state where the content data can be transmitted, and a control unit configured to perform control such that, while a number of transmissions of the content data is equal to or greater than a predetermined number, the control unit does not transmit the content data to the receiving apparatus having issued the transmission request but keeps the state where the content data can be transmitted to the receiving apparatus and, when the number of transmissions of the content data becomes less than the predetermined number, the control unit permits the content data to be transmitted to the receiving apparatus.
