[Athen] Alternative Format

Or do you allow them to have electronic access to the files (e-mail or FTP like sites)? When I first starting working in my current position my manager was certain we had to stick with the CD check-out system. I am looking to see if this has changed. What stops the students from moving the files to  their computers?
