How can I sell my software for people to own without giving them right to pirate it?

Honest question. I can only think of adding such user-friendly provisions in a EULA, but wouldn't that still be licensing?

The same way people sell books with out giving them the right to pirate them. You sell a copy, copyright precludes their right to redistribute copies.

Borland used to have a very easy to understand license on their products: the software was licensed "like a book":

Make your software require parts that you do not sell them. This is the SaaS model.
