Abstract

See full text

A specific contents information is distributed from an information supply station 20 to a terminal apparatus 30 via a communication network 60. Further, a terminal apparatus 30-1 owned by the owner of such a recorded medium recorded with a contents information secondarily distributes the contents information to another terminal apparatus 30. Next, the terminal apparatus 30-1 delivers a media owner data to the information supply station 20. The terminal apparatus 30 feeds a rent charged reference data designating the state of utilizing distributed contents information whenever a predetermined period of time is past. The information supply station 20 generates a utilization data designating actual condition of utilization per contents information and individual names of users for delivery to an information provider 10. Based on the delivered data, the information provider 10 charges individual users for payment of the rent. The information provider 10 distributes part of the rent charges collected from individual information users via the rent charging procedure to the owners of the corresponding recorded-media.
