I agree. Don’t steal stuff which is owned by someone. Only steal from mega corps and share it with friends.
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.
Explain to me how overfishing and dumping by neighbour countries somehow justifies taking hostage a ship transporting goods from China to Europe?
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.
Potatoes
Others take my means of getting food.
I take shit and food from others.
Don’t care about justification. That’s just what they do.
Try to live and probably since no-one really stops them continue to do so.
You could provide alternative ways to earn money if you want to.
Okay you go there and do better then, smart guy.
If you’re downloading content off the internet, you’re not a pirate. The real pirates are the ones that find the sources and leak them.
Everyone else seemingly calling themselves “pirate” is a freeloader, including me.
No need to self-aggrandize clicking a “download torrent/magnet link” button.
You dont need to be good at crime to commit them.
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.
I mean, yes. What is copied isn’t taken.
Which kinda mean downloading Disney movie and series isn’t bad, because i didn’t take it from them, i merely copy from the internet and their stuff is still there, and
seedshare the thing i like.I AM a good pirate.
Obviously you must be an artist…
Also Disney:
Okay but… He wasn’t a good pirate.

Honestly, this is potentially among the top five best film dialog moments of the past thirty years.
That movie was far far better than it had any right to be. An absolute classic from start to finish.
In a world without global connectivity think how much this would mean? Mean he was probably harassing the British so maybe not as much as it could…
To me it means that so many have lived to tell the tale. And its consistently poor tale.
They understand perfectly. This is called propaganda. They are trying to brainwash kids into not being good pirates.
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.
how bout i take a propa ganda at them honkers

Those are the worst pirates I’ve ever heard of.
Ah, but you have heard of them!
I have no idea who they are.
Jake and the Neverland Pirates. Part of the Peter Pan
cash cowextended universe, I guessThis is a brilliant joke, regardless of whether it was intentional.
You wouldn’t download a pirate ship.
If i could, I probably would, tbh
To hell with that, I’d download two.
And seed three.
I just want to point out that Dick Fiasco is the best stripper name ever
I don’t know about that. It sounds like they would be a total disaster on stage.
Hmm, that could actually be entertaining. I’m in.
Neither the ship of Theseus
I would never! Just the spar. And later, the mainsail. After that the keel, and maybe the deck and gunwales. Then perhaps the poop deck and the rudder, later the helm…
The mast he can keep. For a while. Well, a mast.
For Disney a good pirate is just aesthetics they can make money off of.
Not quite. For Disney, their ideal pirate is at least a girlboss with confused gender partner.
Well “true good pirates”. However I am somewhere between “chaotic good” and “chaotic neutral”.
Here we see a fake Disney pirate confront a real Disney pirate…
