    No no, that’s not incorrect actually. I never deprived anyone of anything. I merely make a copy. See? Good pirate !

        I dunno, if you take a copy for some reason there’s now 100 copies of that movie on the wall.

        We’re hurting the economy by NOT making free copies of valuable content.

          As someone outside America’s (and upper-class England’s) sphere of education extortion, those who pirate and distribute textbooks are true gods - we get to learn for free for fifteen years, so should everyone.

    They’re not totally wrong though. A huge share of the goods the Caribbean pirates “stole” didn’t belong to their “victims” anyway. In fact, most of it had previously been stolen from the native Americans who had been conquered and killed or extorted from slaves on the plantations. Stealing from a robber isn’t stealing imho.

    Another, more modern example are the pirates of Somalia, who originally were fishermen. Only when foreign ships came into their waters to steal their fish and dispose toxic waste, they began to arm themselves to “steal” their own goods back.

    Disney on the other hand…

        Good luck bringing back a treasure to the rightful owner, when the rightful owner has been killed along with his family. Also, usually the thieves would not write “stolen from person X in Y” on their gold bars.

        And let’s not forget that a non-negligible part of the pirates were in fact former slaves that either fled on their own or have been freed directly by other pirates. So they basically fought their previous “owners”.

        If you steal my food and poison my soil until my family is starving, you shouldn’t be surprised when I come back at you. And don’t expect me to steal the fish back, that you’ve already eaten. Of cause I’ll take whatever I can get hold of.

        It weren’t primarily neighbour countries, it were especially European and Chinese vessels that were doing that shit.

      Good luck with that, kids are learning pirating from their parents super young. Its really common at least in my area. It comes up in random conversation with strangers sometimes.

    This is (somewhat) paradoxical.

    • A practically good pirate would steal stuff
    • A morally good pirate would not steal stuff
    • A practically bad pirate would not steal stuff
    • A morally bad pirate would steal stuff.

    So you have to be bad to be good and good to be bad.
