A transmission device is capable of transmitting data to a reception device via a transmission route and includes a digital content storage section for storing data under copyright protection. The data stored in the digital content storage section includes protection information for indicating whether the data is under copyright protection or not. The transmission device includes a copyright protection detection section for detecting whether data, transmission of which has been instructed, is under copyright protection or not and a transmission disallowance notification section for transmitting, to the reception device, transmission disallowance data indicating that the data is incapable of being transmitted because of copyright protection when it is detected that the data is under copyright protection. Therefore, it is possible to provide a transmission device and a reception device which keeps a user from being confused when the user instructs to transmit data incapable of being copied.
A transmission device, which is capable of transmitting data to a reception device via a transmission route, and (i) stores data under copyright protection inside the transmission device or (ii) is connectable with a storage medium storing the data under copyright protection,
A reception device, connected via a transmission route with a transmission device which stores data under copyright protection inside the transmission device or is connectable with a storage medium storing the data under copyright protection, said transmission device including:
A transmission method of a transmission device which is capable of transmitting data to a reception device via a transmission route and (i) stores data under copyright protection inside the transmission device or (ii) is connectable with a storage medium storing the data under copyright protection,
