and by which an illegal inter-user-equipment copy of multimedia
downloaded via a network (Internet, wireless Internet, etc.) can be
prevented. The present invention includes the steps of dividing
prescribed multimedia requested from a user equipment by a block unit,
generating an encryption code for the user equipment by performing an
