An optical disc manufacturing apparatus (46) recording a BCA code
constituted by plural marks and including a secret code which is
modulated in a range capable of recognizing a position in a radial
direction of an optical disc and/or a position in a track direction of
the plural marks as the BCA code, a BCA history database (44) storing a
history including a correspondence between the BCA code of an optical
disc (1a) recording the BCA code and the secret code, and a management
center (30) reading the BCA code and the secret code recorded on the
optical disc so as to compare both on the basis of input of the
correspondence between the BCA code and the secret code stored in the BCA
history database (44) are employed, whereby an illegally manufactured
optical disc (1z) can be easily found by inspecting the recorded BCA code
and secret code.
