你什么也做不了。一旦软件出现，它就会出现在那里。当然，你可以向相关网站发送各种法律威胁和下架通知。然后那些获得软件的人会把它发布到其他网站上。

如果软件还没有免费提供，你可以把它塞满DRM和版权保护等等....就会破裂。微软肯定花了数十亿美元试图阻止人们盗版Windows。我仍然认识一些人，他们运行盗版的Windows 7没有任何问题。

You can't prevent people from pirating your software. What you can do is make people feel your software is worth paying for. Some developers have noticed some effect simply from posting a polite and personal message on torrent sites. On the torrent for your software, post a comment saying you're the developer of this software, and while you're glad to see that people like it, the money from software sales goes directly to you and your dog and no one else, and you can't afford to keep making software if you don't get paid. So please consider buying a license.

一些公司仅仅通过善待顾客来打击盗版。让它成为人们想要使用的东西。以人们愿意支付的价格出售。为付费客户提供额外服务。为持有有效许可证的人员提供良好的支持。

Some people are going to pirate your software. There's nothing you can do to prevent it. And it only takes one copy to appear on one warez site, before it spreads and becomes impossible to take down. On the other hand, those people who pirated it most likely weren't prepared to pay for it anyway. If they hadn't been able to pirate it, they simply wouldn't have used it. So in that sense, you haven't lost anything. Remember who your paying customers are. They are the ones you have to satisfy in order to run a successful business. The ones who don't pay aren't your customers, so they're a lot less important.

最后，因为有些人很难接受世界不是非黑即白的这一事实，并且喜欢认为那些不把软件盗版等同于邪恶僵尸希特勒的人本身就是秘密的海盗，让我明确一点:

我不宽恕盗版行为。我并不是说你应该喜欢软件盗版者或者像对待自己的孩子一样对待他们。我只是说这是生活中不可避免的事实，太多的公司在“防止盗版”上花了大量的钱，但这并不能阻止盗版使用他们的软件，反而让付费用户使用软件变得不方便。

好消息是，如果有人费心破解了你的软件，这意味着它足够流行/有用，人们真的想要使用它……所以你一定在卖一些!

其次，有一种观点认为，使用破解版本实际上可能会提高你的产品的认知度，并导致更多的销售长期…试着把它想象成一场免费的营销活动……:-)

Make your software contact a central server while it is being used. Roll patches/etc through the server connection. Also, make 1 or 2 main features that occasionally contact the server to do the processing. Require a valid account that auto-logs in in order for the main features to work. Make the valid accounts pay a small fee like 1-2 dollars a month. Ask them to put a credit card on file and roll the charges into 6-month billing increments or something so you don't just waste a bunch on CC fees.

同时，保持一个容易找到的，低成本的软件版本。人们每个月花1美元就可以使用5次。随着使用量的增加而增加费用。让人们找到并安装免费版本比找到并安装破解/黑客版本更便宜、更容易。

Consider piracy as a business expense that comes with the territory of having a product that can be sold to thousands at near zero product cost. We can't have it all our way. Just use basic protection to stop customers passing it around. Anything more is not worth the time and expense. Don't make your paying customers jump through licensing hoops. Often I'll pay for a product, get driven crazy by the licensing scheme and seek out a cracked version. Make trials not by period but by hours used. It's easy to get diverted and not have a chance to evaluate the software. Most people won't consider to ask for an extension. Consider if you've pirated music CDs, movies, software etc. yourself and rest in peace knowing it somewhat evens out. Always have different levels of your product. People don't want to pay big bucks for a product they only use 10% of. Make the product fantastic. Customers will eagerly await the latest version and not want to wait for a crack to appear. The users of poor products think, "I hate this product, it's full of bugs, but I haven't found anything better yet". That's inviting piracy.

接受现实吧。大多数盗版你的软件的人无论如何都不会买它。但这并不是停止制作软件的理由，几乎所有主要的软件都被破解和盗版，但Adobe和大型游戏工作室等都还在经营。

我必须承认我没有阅读所有的答案和大量的评论，但这里是我对这个话题的看法:

专注于让软件的付费变得尽可能简单。想想Steam和iTunes。不诚实的人总是会竭尽全力不付钱，但我想如果你让它足够简单，大多数人会很乐意付钱给你。 保持低价。如果价格足够低(比如5美元)，它就会低于“实际上免费”的门槛，人们就会开始想“5美元不算什么，我还不如付钱”。

这两者结合起来将防止您诚实的客户试图获得您的软件的黑客副本。
