Information recording device, information recording medium and information recording method

An information recording device capable of recoding information onto an information-recordable region of an information recording medium, comprising:

• recording means for recording, onto the information-recordable region, secondary information created by utilizing primary information whose duplication onto a different information recording medium is restricted,
• the primary information containing duplication restriction determination information indicating that duplication of the primary information onto a different information recording medium is restricted,
• the information recording device further comprising recording allow/disallow determination means for determining whether to allow or disallow recording of the secondary information onto the information-recordable region by determining the presence or absence of the duplication restriction determination information.

An information recording medium comprising an information-recordable region onto which information is recordable,

• secondary information created by utilizing primary information whose duplication onto a different information recording medium is restricted being recorded on the information-recordable region,
• the primary information containing duplication restriction determination information indicating that duplication of the primary information onto a different information recording medium is restricted.

An information recording method for recoding information onto an information-recordable region of an information recording medium, comprising:

• a recording step of recording, onto the information-recordable region, secondary information created by utilizing primary information whose duplication onto a different information recording medium is restricted,
• the primary information containing duplication restriction determination information indicating that duplication of the primary information onto a different information recording medium is restricted,
• the information recording method further comprising a recording allow/disallow determination step of determining whether to allow or disallow recording of the secondary information onto the information-recordable region by determining the presence or absence of the duplication restriction determination information.
