How do I protect my Songs?

[cidvalue]

Hi all,

I'm a KJ in the South Florida area. My gigs are doing so well that I'm thinking about expanding operations. I plan to purchase a second set of audio gear and a laptop with Hoster installed so that I can hire someone to do gigs with me simultaneously.

As most of you know, for us KJ's our most valuable asset are the Songs themselves. I currently have about $5000 dollars invested in songs.

Can anyone think of a way to prevent someone from copying all my KMA files? As soon as I hire someone to work with me, they will be tempted to simply steal the songs by copying them to another hard drive. And then they can compete against me using my songs!

Is there a way to have songs like excel files be "read only"? Or require a username and password to transfer?

Your thoughts are appreciated.
