By invading your privacy and monitoring what you do.
At the top of that list would be compelling ISPs to track you and then give that information to them.
Other ways would be when they shut down some place they deem as selling illegal materials (software to rip DVDs, mod chips for consoles, etc), they take the customer lists and go from there.
It's not going to stop the real pirates of course; they'll just encrypt their connections, use TOR, do other things to stay under the system, it'll just punish everyone else.
