hey guys .. i have some shared files on my PC and have a WorkGroup in my net cafe so i want to make the files as a read-only nd i dont want to let them copy my files.. is there any way to do dat?
regards.


Probably not, if they can read them, they can copy them. However.... Microsoft's "Windows Rights Management Services" (RMS) is an
option for documents and e-mails produced by Microsoft Office
200* Professional (a pretty "heavy" solution though):

thanks gordo ..but i didn't really understand what should i do .. is that (RMS)
a program for protecting some kind of files from editing , copying and stuff.


i have alot of music files that i'm planning to sell them by listening to them without copying them..
so :confused: is there any way to do that..or there isn't as u said before?

thanks again.. i appreciate it.



Listening to them without copying them...?

Your computer has to download music files to read from them.

no sir .. what i meant before that i have music on my pc and i edited them as shared for others.. but i don't want anyone to copy them ...

i wish to allow them to listen but disallow them to copy them..( so i can sell them).
any solution!?
thanks a million bucks.
regards.

Now you may understand what Sony http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_Sony_BMG_CD_copy_protection_scandal
and the music industry are going through trying to prevent pirating their music. How the artists and companies make their ***** is through music sales, and pirating cuts profits.
