I saw my game get pirated. I noticed once it hit one pirate site, it quickly spread across all these other pirate sites / forums / file share sites / ...
I waited about 1 week for it to spread across all the pirate sites. I then released a new version of the game pointing to a new URL (my game is a network car racing game). I then waited a further 2 weeks (to allow the real users to update) before sending the kill command back with the old URL (which tells the user to update their version). Now when you google my game, it is very hard to find the latest copy, as the search results are littered with the old version. Seems to have done the job ok.
