Personally, I'd still be honored that people actually wanted it that much as to pirate it.

The recognition'd be enough, along with the money.
Don't worry; you'll still be able to get somethin' for it. I mean, few people out of the software buyers know of eMule and how to use it. I bought nero two months ago at best buy after trying a version off ShareReactor(I hate trial crap, going through my registry for 15 minutes to delete all the "hidden" keys for the 30 days, is annoying). If it's a good program, people're bound to buy it. I've never heard of it though, could use some more promoting, seems cool.
