Provided is an optical information recording medium that can be recorded with data with only a special recording apparatus and the recorded data can be read out with a general recording/reproducing apparatus. The optical information recording medium includes a disc-like light-transmissive substrate having a surface provided with a spiral groove WB having a wobble and a land LN between adjacent segments of the groove WB, a light-absorbing layer disposed on the surface of the light-transmissive substrate, and a light reflection layer disposed on the light-absorbing layer. The groove WB has a depth Ds of about 140 nm≦Ds≦155 nm, the light-absorbing layer has a recess with a depth Dd of about 95 nm≦Dd≦105 nm in the groove, and a push-pull signal before recording has a value of about 0.3 or less. The optical information recording medium may include an anti-illegal copy measure.
