Ok, newbie question about pricing of CDs.

Acknowledging that anyone that gets a CD is going to be making prints of my work and that copyright laws are on my side.

1. What is a reasonable price for a CD. Mine are averaging about 80 images.
2. Is there a slideshow program that will make it very difficult to print or duplicate images from to help prevent unauthorized copying?
3. Is there a program to ‘LOCK’ a CD so that a customer cannot print or duplicate a photo without a password that he must pay for? I know that software companies do this all the time.

By practical experience, I have already taken some steps.
a. No one gets electronic copies of my ‘special’ edited photos. They are print only and not included on the CD.
b. I am placing a watermark in an unobtrusive but hard to remove placement on images.
c. I am inserting my copyright statement in another location on the image that is not so obvious.
d. EXIF info is only available on my computer/archival CD.

Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Glen

There is a professional photographer in Hawaii that sells 100 photos on a CD for $14.95 as a screen saver CD.

ProShow Gold allows you to lock a CD, and password protect it. It's a slideshow program. They also allow the full resolution pictures to be included.
