Depends on what your trying to keep in tact. Cat file1 > file2 will copy all contents but the file image and timestamp has changed. So if your using any sort of original verification schemes you could detect a illegal copy. However, if your trying to prevent people from simply own the file on their system then their is nothing you can do while allowing read permissions.
Depending on the file format (ie PDF), you can set security setting to not allow things like save or print. But those feature are dependant on the viewer application not the file or the filesystem permissions.
