Information processing apparatus, data processing method and program

An information processing apparatus configured to read data from a first local medium storing media content, wherein the information processing apparatus comprises:

• at least one processor configured to perform:
• receiving, from a remote server, a list of content corresponding to the media content stored on the first local medium;
• transmitting, to the remote server, information indicative of content selected by a user from the list of content;
• downloading the selected content from the remote server;
• and
• storing the downloaded content on the second local medium,
• wherein the first local medium is physically within the information processing apparatus when the information processing apparatus reads data from the first local medium.

A method performed by an information processing apparatus configured to read data from a first local medium, write data to a second local medium, and communicate with a remote server, the method comprising:

• reading a medium ID of the second local medium to which content recorded on the first local medium is to be copied;
• transmitting the medium ID to the remote server;
• receiving, from the remote server, management control information comprising a token generated at the remote server by signing the medium ID with a secret key of the remote server;
• copying the content from the first local medium to the second local medium, when copying permission information is received from the remote server in response to transmitting the medium ID to the remote server;
• and
• writing the received management control information to the second local medium,
• wherein the second local medium is an optical disc.

A method performed by an information processing apparatus configured to read data from a first local medium storing media content, the method comprising acts of:

• (a) obtaining, from a remote server, a list of content corresponding to the media content stored on the first local medium;
• (b) transmitting, to the remote server, information indicative of content selected by a user from the list of content;
• (c) downloading the selected content from the remote server;
• and
• (d) storing the downloaded content on the second local medium,
• wherein the first local medium is physically within the information processing apparatus when the information processing apparatus reads data from the first local medium.

At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing an information processing apparatus, which is configured to read data from a first local medium, write data to a second local medium, and communicate with a remote server, to perform a method comprising:

• reading a medium ID of the second local medium to which content recorded on the first local medium is to be copied;
• transmitting the medium ID to the remote server;
• receiving, from the remote server, management control information comprising a token generated at the remote server by signing the medium ID with a secret key of the remote server;
• copying the content from the first local medium to the second local medium, when copying permission information is received from the remote server in response to transmitting the medium ID to the remote server;
• and
• writing the received management control information to the second local medium,
• wherein the second local medium is an optical disc.

At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing an information processing apparatus, which is configured to read data from a first local medium storing media content, to perform a method comprising:

• obtaining, from the remote server, a list of content corresponding to the media content stored on the first local medium;
• transmitting, to the remote server, information indicative of content selected by a user from the list of content;
• downloading the selected content from the remote server;
• and
• storing the downloaded content on the second local medium,
• wherein the first local medium is physically within the information processing apparatus when the information processing apparatus reads data from the first local medium.
