It is fairly difficult to physically prevent someone from making a copy, once they have a copy and are not being watched. It comes down to physical security and there are specialized professionals who deal with this for important documents. Many "copy-protections" for paper simply make it easier to detect violations, but do not "prevent" them. Similarly, digital copying can be made difficult, but not necessarily impossible. Being very choosy about your audience might help.

Outside of physical copy protections (deterrents), assuming you want to actually give someone a copy to read, there are also legal protections. You can obtain a signed "non-disclosure, non-copy" agreement and try to enforce it if you have evidence it was violated (basically the same as a very narrow license). You can register the copyright and sue for infringement, again: if you have evidence of violation. As with physical deterrents, legal protections only deter violations with economic consequences.

If a bad person is willing to do "anything" to violate your trust, then you're better off not trusting them in the first place!
