Without the actual files? In short, no.
Can they "copy" and do it themselves over time...yes.
Since the basics of what you are using to do this, IE: the uo client, is not yours anyways you can not copyright it.

Its not hard to own some ones stuff because any uo files you give out is never yours to copyright. I seen these in the chat about darkshard maps
if some one buys darkshard map.bmp and turns them into mul or UOP files. then puts them up for download and people can get those files and post them for others to download if they wish. so people would not have to buy darkshard.bmp files
Now if you ask me I would create a tool that is more thena patcher I hope your all reading these to help you all from lawsuits.
Build a patcher tool like these
Patcher server hosts .bmp maps
Patcher Client clicks ip it downloads the BMP file then once bmp file is downloaded the patcher client converts these file into the .mul or .uop
I hope you all followed that if so these what will do
EA/Boardsword then can not go after you for sending out there files because a .BMP is not there file and its not copyright to them. NOw you just gave your self a break from having to worry about it being stolen. as well the bmp once downloaded is locked into the program and is converted in the program by the patcher client to a .mul and or .uop. also these allows smaller patchers to shards and easier to manage all around.
you can al thank me later for that idea.

Even if you found a way to keep the game files themselves safe.
'Talented' people can always copy/mimic your map, buildings, scripts, art, etc from gameplay, screenshots, video or even word of mouth.
Nothing is safe once it hits the public view.
This is why a lot of Artists left uo behind. They were sick of people using their art without permission..

if your shard is fun and fair and not pay to win charcters. also always adding or making things better and not trying to please the crybabies you will always always be on top.
