Explain how to lock CDs on a Mac laptop

Asked By Marjorie B Danek 20 points N/A Posted on - 08/16/2013

I must urgently send some CDs to a friend of mine but important data will be stored on them and I want to be sure that nobody copies or duplicates that data. Don't know how to password protect the files or lock the CDs, and on top of that I have a Macbook and I am no expert at running software on it. So can you guys tell me how to lock CDs on a Mac but step by step because I am new to this area.
