. . . . which you can still read (and copy and edit) with OCR.
But you wouldn't even need to use OCR to copy a bitmap/outlined file/PDF (etc) as these can just be used to distribute the information.
The only real way to make it very difficult to copy and distribute is to host the text on a website as non-editible text, that needs to be scrolled through part by part (to avoid easy screen capture).
You cannot make a file impossible to copy, but you can make it difficult.
