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.
