Data files & Log Files in SQL2000

Dear all,
I have a question of the Data files & Log Files in SQL2000.
Is that once someone got the data files and log files of the database, and
he had a SQL server 2000 installed, he can use sp_attach_db command to
restore the database?
Is there any control for this case?
Best Regards,
IvanOnce you have the mdf and or ldf files of a particular db, then you can
attach the database, as far as I know, there is no remedy for this

Then, he can easily duplicate the database.

Well , not in the same name unless the old database will be droped.
Actually you don't need to stop Services because you can use BACKUP/RESTORE
commands

You can secure your database files (and backups) with NTFS permissions so
that only authorized users have access.

To add on to tibor; take a look into the below article on implementing EFS
on sql server and its benfits.
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/columnists/bkelley/implementing_efs.asp
With EFS, database files are encrypted under the identity of the account
running SQL Server. Only this account can decrypt the files. If you need to
change the account that runs SQL Server, you should first decrypt the files
under the old account, then re-encrypt them under the new account.
