You cannot have your cake, and eat it.  Think about it.

Copying a CD-ROM means just reading it, so in order to prevent it from
being copied, you need to prevent it from being read.  You can do this
by bending it 20 times, scratching large pieces of the gold coating
off, or punching several holes into it.  This would be the only
imaginable copy protection, but i seriously doubt it's what you're
looking for. :-)

Get used to the idea that any form of ``copy protection'' is basically
meaningless in the computer area, since somebody else will always find
a way to work around it.
