      A couple of things. First, this is not the forum for asking a question like this. This is the Game Development forum. Secondly, you will never be able to completely protect a CD so that nobody can access information on it. The closest you could get is to implement a DRM system that meant that it was difficult for others to copy the information; there will always be somebody determined enough to crack the DRM and access the information. If you could come up with a foolproof system, you'll end up being very, very rich.

        You can't. You could encrypt it and then charge for a key.

          Put the CD into a microwave, set the microwave to full power and then turn it on for a few seconds. Nobody will ever be able to read or copy anything from the CD. If there is any way at all to read the data, then you can also copy it. There is no way to prevent this unless you completely destroy the CD. DRM and other protections also can't prevent that someone makes a copy. They only try to assure that the copy is worthless. Such protections can be removed, modified or tricked into allowing access to the CD, so they are also not foolproof.

            Place it inside a safe that you can prevent unauthorized access to. If the information is 'visible', it's take-able. I've heard it said that the CIA have had devices for years that can reconstruct the contents of your PC screen simply by picking up the radiation emanating from the cable between it and your video card. They don't even have to see you or your pc visually. Me fears you're asking the wrong kind of question entirely. You know why there aren't copies floating around the net of the software used to fly/control modern fighter planes? Simple, because access is restricted to those able to be trusted - not because there's any super-dooper copy protection scheme in place. It's a case of social engineering rather than the software kind.

              maybe they have it now ... early with the crt´s it was much simpler: the radiation of the crt was readable ... but the no such agency can even identify you by your typing rate/style.

              I cannot remember: What did I before google?
