Hello Ray

It's pretty much physically impossible to stop anyone copying the contents of a standard card. If it's readable, there's no way to stop someone being able to copy the readable parts of the card. That means that if you want to keep the data on the card private (a "your eyes only" scenari), you're gonna need to encrypt it. If it's a program on the card that needs to be accessible to everyone, then you need to somehow physically tie it to the card, or to a license, or something. This, also, is near-impossible to do, and there will always be someone smart enough to break the protection.

Sorry.

Simon
