Last three:

23d In rising numbers catch fish with this (5, 3)
- T - - - N - T STAKE NET?
30a Do quickly stop, take away and kill pirate (5, 3)
- - O - K - F - KNOCK OFF?
44a Take rural character from heart of Lozere to meet Pope (8) - R - A - I - E URBANIZE?

I think that these are the answers, but I can't quite see why. Thanks a lot for any help and explanations.

A pirated copy is a 'knock off'.
23d Stake net - 'take' (catch) (in) 'tens' (rising)
30a Knock off - x5 (!) as: do quickly; stop; take away; kill & pirate
44a Urbanize - (Pope) Urban I + (Lo) ze (re)
Question Author
Once again, many thanks for explanations.
23d - Catch = take, written in tens (numbers) inverted
30a - Knock off can be used for do quickly, stop, take away, kill and pirate (the verb)
44a Urbane 1 was a pope and ze are the two middle letters of Lozere
