I know how to set it up so that the page is restricted from people who are not in the usergroup, but I want to be sure that paying customers can't send out the full url of the files to non-paying customers and have them steal all of the premium renders.

The easiest way would be to lock down that directory with .htaccess:

Order allow, deny

And then use a script to check the usergroup before grabbing and outputting the file (via PHP).
