A reproduction apparatus includes a demodulator which demodulates data modulated in accordance with a modulation rule, a temporal store which stores the data demodulated by the demodulator, an error-corrector which error-corrects the demodulated data stored in the temporal store based on an error correction code, the error-corrected data being stored in the temporal store, a reproducer which reproduces superimposed information concerning copying consent from the error-corrected data processed by the error-corrector and stored in the temporal store, and an output controller which performs output control of the error-corrected data based on the reproduced information concerning copying consent stored in the temporal store. The output controller stops outputting the error-corrected data if both (1) the error-corrected data was reproduced from a medium dedicated to reproduction and (2) the reproduced information concerning copying consent stored in the temporal store indicates that copying once was permitted.
