I have to burn a CD. But before burning, I want to make that CD Read Only and not anyone else to copy it. It shouldn't allow anyone to burn to another CD or Copy it to the harddisk.

Please let me know how!

    you cannot do this with conventional CDs. If that's a software CD, only thing you can do is to run it through an encryption system and encrypt the data so that the only way to get the data is to decrypt it.
    If that's a Audio or Video CD, then it cant be done at all.

    It's a software CD... but if i encrypt it, the end user wont be able to use the cd over and over again without decrypting.. that might cause a bit problem. Other than that, isnt there any other option? where we could make the files on the CD - Read only ?

    That's the whole point in encrypting the CD.
