When I buy things I often get a warning like
"Your IP address is XYZ, your internet provider is ABC" etc.

Now this comes from the browser, so if you set up a system to open a browser to go get a key you 
could display that information with a "We track this information for piracy purposes" kinda thing. 
this might at least slow them down.

I did a copy protection thing for Access a very long time ago and I came to the conclusion that you 
pretty much have to accept the person's word for it, but making the person actually interact with 
you will stop a certain percentage of the pirates.
