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.
