In this case, Access with a web page front end will defeat copying every bit
as well as SQL with a web front end, and you don't have to buy or support an
expensive SQL server or convert the database. The web code is virtually
identical whichever one you use.

I also still believe Microsoft DRM can be used as well to control where the
database can be used and what can be done with it.
