Working on it

Do me a favor and take a few seconds to write down five things that comes to your mind when you think of piracy. Now look at your list, do you have anything about software piracy or bootlegged copies of movies and music? Did you have anything like rogues swinging on ropes, with a patch over one eye, a parrot on their shoulder, and yelling “Arrrr” while threatening you with a rusty cutlass? How about Johnny Depp?

I wonder, did you have anything about speedboats, machine guns, granade launchers, Global Positioning Systems, and it all happening yesterday, today and tomorrow?

Modern day pirates stalk the port towns and trading straights for any seafaring prey. They board unsuspecting ships, many times crewed by men in disbelief to the current exsistance of pirates, and steal anything, ranging from a bucket of paint to the ship itself. In fact, modern pirates are even more dangerous than their famous predessesors, Blackbeard and Kidd.
