As for the security (against illegal copying), I'm thinking having a basic stuff - so it won't be very easy to crack, but also it shouldn't be very hard, so people in 3rd world countries are able to use it - these aren't the loss sales anyway, and also help in popularization. What might be a reasonable price in the west, might be worth of monthly salary for some living in poor countries - I wouldn't want to charge anything to such people.

Maybe you can create a page on your software website "$softwarename key generator" or something like that. And on that page you can give away a free key for those that are going to pirate it anyway. Bonus points for having detailed statistics about the wannabe pirates.

  Not sure, that might be too easy - maybe some potential buyer will use it as well?

    That's indeed a possibility. But if the potential buyer is searching for cracks, I'd say the chances of him buying are very low. Maybe offer a heavy discount, or a non-commercial license.
