Make a USB flash drive readable but not copyable

Question

I want to protect my USB flash drive in general so these files and directories are readable but not copyable so no one can make a copy of these files in my USB flash drive.

Is that possible?

if a program can read it, it can always store the bytes to another file. there's no way to prevent that — phuclv, Sep 30 '15 at 17:05

You can control write-access separately from read-access on the files. But once you allow readability, the user is able to copy as well. Copy is implied in read-access.
