Copying the temporary pov file while POV-Ray is working would be easy.
You could pipe the source code directly to POV-Ray, but again it is
easy to get the code: Simply replace POV-Ray by a script that saves
the file to disk.

As warp already wrote:
"So if povray can get it, then the user can get it as well."
You can only make it a little bit obscure how to get it.
