Historical piracy was never about social justice, especially when you consider that a number of pirates during the 1600-1800s received government's blessings to operate, so long as they didn't attack the nation's ships.
Pirates simply did on sea the same thing highway robbers have been doing on land since the dawn of civilization.
Exactly.
Piracy was "tolerated", because it stole money from competitors.
Even if a pirate lied and only turned over some of the booty to the crown, it still took it from their enemies.
There were also those pirates that were told "alright we don't need you anymore. Don't pirate." And went "well if the agreement is over, I guess we can pirate your ships too!"
