Unfortunately, read permissions means copy permissions.

However, on our systems we have used NTFS and "restricted
user" rights to our advantage by disabling access to
removable storage and preventing write/change to anywhere
outside of user directories. While this prevents files
from being offloaded (assuming physical security), the
user could still zip the database and email it - but
that's what content filters are for.

Hope it helps,
Donovan Bernauer
