I have a potential job for a graduation ball coming up, I've been told there are at least 50 people that want their images on a CD. Which I am happy to do, however…

How do I combat the potential problem of only one person buying a disc, and copying it for everyone else? Do I ask for payment from everyone up front first? Is there a way to protect the disc against duplicate copies?
 
You could use software such as proshow gold to create the disc with. That will afford some protection providing you tell it not to include the original images on the disc.
 
Welcome to the world of the music and film producer. As you say, taking all the orders/payments up front is probably the sure only way to prevent your total sales numbering one.

There's always some smart 12 year old nerd that knows a way round all the usual protection...
 
I agree, charge up front.
What im curious on is what pictures are they getting on CD? Will it be photos of everyone? Surely there are some legal wranglings around that because they would have images of other people that they can use and abuse.
 
Don't forget that whatever you do, if they are tiht enoubh they will just do a screen print of the images as displayed on a PC then trim and print those.
 
Seems they have changed their minds ;)

They now want a set fee for the night, and the images putting on my website for people to download as they wish. Saves the hassle I suppose!

Thanks for the input though guys :)
