The central host server (20) is connected to a communicationnetwork (50) for communications to a remote server (70) which controls amanufacturing control device (90) connected thereto. The manufacturingcontrol device (90) duplicates original content recordings (30) on blackmedia upon receipt of a data representation of the original contentrecording (30) from the remote server (70) which retrieves said datarepresentation for a selected original content recording (30) from thecentral host server (20) over the communications network (50).
