Think about it:  Whatever remedy you set up, any shameless pirate will
just go ahead and comply with.  Why wouldn't they?  And in the
process, you set up obstacles for your legitimate customers.

Once you start worrying about pirates, you can never stop.  This is
not pleasant to know, but it's true all the same.
