How do I make it so lets say... if i put a video file on a dvd, people could only be allowed to watch it and not be allowed to copy it from the dvd to their hard drive?
Taken from yahoo answers There is no way as i know ........................... Later edit http://arccos.com/opencms/opencms/sites/eu/en/Products/Copy_Control_Solutions/
In short, it's almost impossible. The music/DVD/game industry spends millions every year trying to make their goods uncopyable, yet you still see ripped copies of most things
The law prohibit reproduce the copyrighted DVD and videos contents. It is already uncopyable from the view point of law . Unfortunately there is no way to make the DVD content uncopyable from the viewpoint of technology.
I am sure, it is almost impossible to prevent your contents being copied but I know a method wherein you can make your DVD unplayable. Just scratch it on the floor. I learned it from my kids
the best way....... is to encrypt your data in the DVD all copy protection methods are easily broken securom safedisc laserom ....... you name it...... they're all already defeated by those crackers

At the end of the day it goes with the territory. If you're selling software, it's going to be cracked, media files will be ripped and all of them will be shared illegaly. There's really very little you can do to prevent this In some respects you should think of it as a good thing, if nothing it's free publicity for you, and if people want your products enough to take the time to up/download them, you must be doing something right
Have you looked at the date of this thread? Or perhaps noticed that the OP has not been on DP since 2010? Resurrecting old threads like this serves no useful purpose, especially if you are offering the same comments/questions that were posed six years ago without response.
