that depends on how you approach the issue. who exactly are you trying to control? if you are trying to control yourself, just stop pirating. if you are trying to control people you are responsible for, such as your children or employees, you should verbally make it clear that software piracy is unacceptable; let them know that if you catch them they will be punished; hope that they take heed. if you're trying to stop somebody whom you can't control you can contact the Business Software Alliance at bsa.org and they'll be happy to help!

∙ 13y agoSoftware piracy is a global phenomenon, not just one event. Ergo, its not just something you can decide to stop globally, rather it needs to be a collective effort to stop it. The first step, of course, is to eliminate your own involvement. Don't download music, files, or software illegally, and avoid Surfing on or supporting sites that allow piracy. Secondly, spread the word. Get your friends in on it, and get them to also join the piracy boycott.
Good luck!!

How does anti-piracy technology help to protect your software?
Strong anti-piracy solutions use robust encryption to make the software unusable until it's decrypted.

The key is typically stored in a secure, secret location: either on a hardware device called a dongle, or in a file on the user's hard disk.You can learn more about protecting software from illegal copying and piracy here at http://www.wibu.us.
