Preventing a CD from being copied is not possible. Preventing
content on a CD from being usable after being copied is possible to
some degree. If your product fills a small niche, then you have a
chance with protection. It just won't be worth cracking if the app
does not apply to the general public or provide some notoriety of
some sort.
