Even when a movie or the like is distributed in an electronic state,
reproduction control can be effectively performed for each region at a
distribution destination, thereby providing a reproduction control
program capable of widely distributing distributed information in an
effective manner.The reproduction control program acquires distribution
information which is distributed along with region information indicating
a reproduction permitting region, and the reproduction control program is
installed to a terminal T to operate the terminal T for reproducing the
acquired distribution information. The region information indicating the
reproduction permitting region based on the reproduction control program
is stored in the terminal T, and it is confirmed whether or not a
coincidence is made between a region indicated by the stored region
information and a region indicated by stream region information included
in the acquired distribution information. The distribution information is
reproduced only when the region indicated by the region information and
the region indicated by the stream region information are coincident with
each other.
