10. A content storage medium making method in which a server connected to a specific network sends content data, held in the server in advance, to the network, and a client connected to the network receives the content data sent from the server and writes it onto a removable medium, wherein the method comprises steps of:
-
determining whether or not the client has a drive capable of writing the content data directly onto a removable medium, determining whether or not a writable removable medium is loaded on the drive, and sending the content data to the client depending on the results of the determination; wherein the server sends blocks of content data, each upon a request from the client, and the blocks of content data sent are successively written on the removable medium to be saved thereon. - View Dependent Claims (11, 18)
