The owner brought up functionality to disable copying because they themselves were doing it and didn't want others to do the same; otherwise they would not have thought of such a detail. It only seems a bizarre request because we lack their thought processes to arrive to their conclusion that they should disable copying.

Would it be unreasonable to consider the owner to be a hypocrite?
Based on this, yes. They would be a hypocrite if they made a moral argument. But they made a selfish one of "I'm going to copy and nobody should be able to copy us" which is not hypocritical.
