I like the kill-switch idea too. Depending on the type of app, I would go a bit further and let the pirated copy circulate for a month or two. If its a good app then people will like it and use it and when they suddenly find the app killed (with a convenient button taking them to your paid app on the Market) they might just consider buying it.
Also, the more people happily using the pirated version, the more your app will get known (though both pirate and legit channels). Furthermore, the longer waiting period will mean less legit users are caught by the kill switch. So I say, let the pirates spread the love for longer and then kill the love once they are hooked.
