Disallowing Copy/Paste in Excel

I created a workbook that requires data capture with data validation in each applicable cell. I am finding that users are bypassing the data validation by simply copying and pasting the data from another cell. Is there a way to "shutoff" the copy/paste properties of certain cells or a workbook in general?

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
