There isn't a way to restrict it that I know of and still use Direct
Booking. The whole idea behind the "direct" part is that people have rights
to write to the calendar.
You could use an event sink based tool rather than direct booking, which
would allow you to restrict the rights of the calendar to read-only for the
users.
Two such products are:
Exchange Resource Manager -
http://www.swinc.com/erm (free for 1-2
resources)
Autoaccept sink -
http://autoaccept-sink.sourceforge.net (free, but
unsupported)
