Protect it from what? If there's some specific activity you want to
prevent or restrict, please say what it is, since “protect” is a rather
loaded term.

I doubt your software will be at risk from pirates, which are raiders on
the high seas.

If you mean something more specific, please explain, because “pirate” is
an even more loaded term that doesn't explain.
