The terminal requests the content from outside the home network. The controller provides the content to the registered terminal based on a request, from the registered terminal, for the content, where the providing of the content to the registered terminal is based on the request, before an expiration date, for the content. The expiration date is based on the registration date of the registered terminal. The providing of the content to the registered terminal is restricted based on the request, after the expiration date, for the content.
