Great video, my question would be , how can you make a USB drive that can not be copied? The reason is I want to load product on one but do not want folks to be able to copy and distribute it. Any answers will be greatly appreciated.

[@TechnicalSpark]

You have to encrypt that USB storage device so that, only those person who knows the password can access data for rest it won't be accessible.

Pendrive is 3 years old. It is 32 gb scandisk .Have tried various softwares and methods to remove write protected but all in vain. Shall i buy new one or is there any hope.. Any correct reason why it gets write protected of its own . Do not show any virus during scan. Earlier issues were pendrive didn't show access.
