There should be metadata in every place that holds the placeId of the place. Each time a server is started, it will compare that metadata with the placeId of the server. If they are not equal, check the placeId of the metadata to see if it's copylocked, and if so, destroy the server.

You could make an anti-copy script that does generally the same idea, but the problem is that people can delete it, while they can't (or most wouldn't know how) to change the metadata.

Again, that is the file, not the resource.

Unless you want to add a non-editable and invisible property to every single instance in which would need to be changed so that models being transferred from free models and already created games/models are not corrupted.

Hackers go into the source-code and copies scripts in there, most hackers do this with Cheat Engine, so your method will not work.
