Pirates : such a sword with two sides?

Hmmm, to support pirates or artists? Quite the quandary. Should one support the owners of Intellectual Property? Or the theives who have stolen it? To purchase through legal or illegal channels?\n\nI honestly have no idea what the implied second side might be.\n\nBuy originals and only originals. Purchasing pirated CDs, DVDs, bedlinen, whatever, is not only stealing from the legitimate owners of the IP, but is supporting the careers of the scum who steal it.

Weeeelll... I'd say no simply because of the fact that they're really lame now. They wear ski masks and use Uzis. They just have no pride in their work. \nHowever, they're considered pirates by most, so yea.

A kind of pirate. More precisely "an early 17th century term that the English used for a buccaneer in the Caribbean".\n\nHave a look to other definitions:\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=define%3Afilibuster

I have to disagree in that Robin of Loxley was a returning Crusade Knight who as you know probably slaughtered many Muslims in his travels. His robbing from the rich and giving to the poor is Myth. He was mostly interested in getting his own expropriated property back from the usurper to the Crown while King Richard the Lion Hearted was being held hostage. Mohammed ( Peace be Upon him ) was a prophet, which is vastly different from the what so-called Robinhood was about.

I actually have not, but I am rated for double-rapier, which means I can fence (not sport fencing) with two swords. My actual weapon is sabre, and sport fencing will always be my passion, but it's fun to show off at the Renaissance fairs and such with the double-rapier fighting.

First start stealing things and than justify it by saying, "I'm a pirate and i pirated that object for my own gain.  It is my booty. ARRRR!"  After you canv callously steal, you are on your way to becoming a pirate

Being a guide to talking like a pirate . . . or, at the very least, understanding someone else who is trying to talk like a pirate. Little effort has been made to distinguish genuine maritime terms from traditional fictional pirate lingo; it all works equally well in the game. Arrrrrr!\n\nTo start with, of course, say "ye" for you, "me" for my or mine, and don't skimp on the "ahoy" and "arrrrr!"\n\nAddled -- Mad, insane, or just stupid. An "addlepate" is a fool.\n\nAft -- Short for "after." Toward the rear of the ship.\n\nAhoy -- "Hello!"\n\nAvast! -- "Hey!" Could be used as "Stop that!" or "Who goes there?"\n\nBegad! -- By God!\n\nBelay -- Stop that. "Belay that talk!" would mean "Shut up!"\n\nBelaying pin -- A short wooden rod to which a ship's rigging is secured. A common improvised weapon aboard a sailing ship, because they're everywhere, they're easily picked up, and they are the right size and weight to be used as clubs.\n\nBilge! -- Nonsense, or foolish talk. The bilges of a ship are the lowest parts, inside the hull along the keel. They fill with stinking bilgewater -- or just "bilge."\n\nBilge-sucking -- A very uncomplimentary adjective.\n\nBlack Spot -- To "place the Black Spot" on another pirate is to sentence him to death, to warn him he is marked for death, or sometimes just to accuse him of a serious crime before other pirates.\n\nBlaggard -- "Blackguard." An insult.\n\nBlimey! -- An exclamation of surprise.\n\nBooty -- Loot.\n\nBosun -- Boatswain; a petty officer.\n\nBowsprit -- The slanted spar at a ship's prow.\n\nBrethren of the Coast -- The Caribbean buccaneers called themselves by this name in the 1640-1680 period. During this time, they actually formed a sort of fraternity, and did not (usually) fight each other or even steal from each other. After 1680, a new generation of pirates appeared, who did not trust each other . . . with good reason.\n\nBriny deep -- The ocean. Probably no pirate in all history ever used this phrase, but don't let that stop you, especially if you can roll the R in "briny"!\n\nBuccaneer -- A general term for the Caribbean pirates.\n\nBucko -- Familiar term. "Me bucko" = "my friend."\n\nCap'n -- Short for "captain."\n\nCat o'nine tails, or just "cat" -- a whip with many lashes, used for flogging. "A taste of the cat" might refer to a full flogging, or just a single blow to "smarten up" a recalcitrant hand.\n\nChandler, or ship-chandler -- see Sutler.\n\nChantey -- A sailor's work song. Also spelled "shantey" or "shanty."\n\nChase -- The ship being pursued. "The chase is making full sail, sir" = "The ship we're after is going as fast as she can."\n\nChest -- Traditional treasure container.\n\nCorsair -- A more romantic term for pirate. But still a pirate.\n\nCrow's nest -- A small platform, sometimes enclosed, near the top of a mast, where a lookout could have a better view when watching for sails or for land.\n\nCutlass -- A curved sword, like a saber but heavier. Traditional pirate weapon. Has only one cutting edge; may or may not have a useful point.\n\nDavy Jones' locker -- The bottom of the sea.\n\nDeadlights -- Eyes. "Use yer deadlights, matey!"\n\nDead men tell no tales -- Standard pirate excuse for leaving no survivors.\n\nDog -- A mild insult, perhaps even a friendly one.\n\nDoubloon -- A Spanish gold coin. At different times, it was worth either 4 or 16 silver pesos, or "pieces of eight."\n\nFair winds! -- Goodbye, good luck!.\n\nFeed the fish -- What you do when you are thrown into the sea, dead or alive.\n\nGangway! -- "Get out of my way!"\n\nGodspeed! -- Goodbye, good luck!\n\nGrog -- Generically, any alcoholic drink. Specifically, rum di

A pirate is one who robs or plunders at sea without a commission from a recognised sovereign nation. Pirates usually target other ships, but have also attacked targets on shore. These acts are known as piracy. \n\nA sea-robber, or an armed ship that roams the seas without any legal commission, and seizes or plunders any vessel she meets indiscriminately, whether friend or foe. Some other names for a pirate were buccaneer, freebooter and skimmer.

piracy is so prevalent on the net, that it's kinda hard to stop all of it.  I know some sights are easier to get to and control than others.

The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.\n\nThere is a statistical correlation between global decrease in the number of pirates and increase in global temperature.  The Pastafarians (followers of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster) attribute these changes to an overall increase in the degree of anger in the Flying Spaghetti Monster who finds Pirate regalia to be a Good Thing.

ditto to the previous answer. In addition, the British hired pirates to tango with the Spanish. While these were not large-scale skirmishes, it meant that a lot of their attention was diverted prior to their big defeat. Probably the major preoccupation was dealing with these pirates that took gold and currency as opposed to defeating the British.
