Why not put your wishes down in text and run it as part of the first play -
it just might deter someone who otherwise would do it.
Version of the above is to suggest anyone who tries to copy this material
will be breaking the law and will be punished etc etc
2nd option will probably motivate some people to try harder.
As you and others have said - if they're going to do it they will do it!
You could watermark it with your details - if it doesn't get in the way
artistically.
Finally what is the content and what makes you think others will use it - if
it is so good please can I have a copy!!
