Annotated Bibliography
Many people don't believe that pirates exsist today, but the media men beg to differ. People stealing, "Pirating", music and videos from the internet and not paying for them. Yes these people are real, but what about thier action's name sake? Surely the pirates from the movies are extinct, or if they aren't, we would have heard about them. That is why my question for this reasearch paper is ... I am writing this paper for ..., so that they can realise that there is still the threat of piracy out there and it doesn't live inside our computers.
In this paper I am going to talk about where these modern pirates come from and what drove them into piracy. I will also discuss the use of technology and modern weapons in piracy. Finally I will tell of possible ways to defend against the modern pirates. Within the paper, I will compare and contrast modern pirates with thier forefathers, as well as add several stories told to me by a history professor who has second hand stories of modern pirates.
BIBLIOGRAPHY
SECTOR, CHARLOTTE. Danger Adrift: Modern-Day Pirates Threaten More Than the High Seas. 14 November 2005. 5 November 2007.
In this article, the author clearly states that these new modern pirates are not those of the Johnny Depp fashion. In fact, they are more dangerous than their ancesters. Now modern pirates are equiped with rocket propelled granades and machine guns. Modern pirates are attacking ships from all classes. This article starts off with a Carnival Ship Cruiseliner. The article, however, does state that pirate attacks have gone down in recent years, but the attacks have become more fatal.

In this article, it is again clearly stated that modern pirates are not like those of the movies. These pirates started off as little gangs trying to get some money, but now they are becoming a large, organized problem. These pirates come nowhere close to the romanticized swashbucklers of the past. Although these pirates did the same things as past pirates; rape, murder, theft, and kidnapping. There is debate, however, that modern pirates are a form of terrorism and whether or not it should be fought.
Dolby, Ieuan. Modern Day Pirates. 2007. 5 November 2007.
This article specifies the wide range of who a pirate can be. In it, the author claims that a pirate can be a poor fisherman with a machete and maybe a pistol, hopefully looking for anything that can come in use such as a bucket of paint, or, if they're lucky, a watch stolen from somebody. The other side of modern piracy is a group of highly trained professionals in camo gear, armed with machine guns and granade launchers, and ready to kill at any given moment. These groups, of course, are after something bigger than a can of paint, they are after the cargo. This article goes on to tell about the tactics pirates use to find and board ships, and about techniques ships use to defend themselves.
