I doubt this'll have much success at all:
1) Anti-virus companies don't have much incentive to try to implement the detection
2) How would the detection work???
3) Even if it does work, expect people to find ways of getting around it...  and this being the piracy community, it'll spread very quickly (oh okay, A/V apps will probably get updated, but it's much easier to bypass the detection in this case, than to patch it up)
4) For A/V apps which don't do this, expect their popularity to grow
