piracy

I am great fan of open source technologies. I have seen lot of sites which offers pirated software's.My question is , Suppose If you are software developer and wants to sell your product and stop piracy of your products which are all the techniques or methods you use ?

Is there any standard software's or standard techniques available ?

The best example is Microsoft Windows WPA activation .
