If your software was cracked, stolen, patched or keygened then most of warez downloads are likely hosted on RapidShare.com. Try to Google for your product name + rapidshare.com.
If you find links to your software cracks or keygens don’t hesitate to ask RapidShare to remove them. Actually, they react very promptly - usually in 12-24 hours.

Reporting is easy. Just send a e-mail to abuse@rapidshare.com with “Abuse report” subject line.

In the message body use the following pattern:

Hello,

I’m YOUR_NAME, a CEO of YOUR_COMPANY

We are the author of YOUR_PRODUCT software (http://www.YOUR_SITE.com) .

Please remove the pirated (patched and keygened) version of
our product from your server:
http://rapidshare.com/files/….
http://rapidshare.com/files/….
….

Thanks!

Sincerely yours,
YOUR_NAME
YOUR_PHONE
YOUR_CONTACT_DETAILS

This will take just about 15-20 minutes of your time to find and report warez links but the effect in sales, or at least in number of original trial copy downloads, may be significant.
