Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

Whenever I pirate any executable , I run it in Sandbox (Sandboxie Plus specifically)

But recently I came to know that some malwares can detect if they are run in VM/Sandbox and may NOT do its deed . And when its run outside of it, it will infect the system.

Unless I want to run the executable in Sandbox forever (which is rarely the case), whats the point of running the.exe it in a VM/Sandbox ?

So I am solely dependent on the reputation of the source and may be analysis of its virustotal results

Is there any solution to know its true nature by running it in safe environment and making sure it shows its true nature without detecting where it is run ??
