No no, that’s not incorrect actually. I never deprived anyone of anything. I merely make a copy. See? Good pirate !
Good thing the corporations aren’t people, then
nor are the billionaires running them.
I agree. Don’t steal stuff which is owned by someone. Only steal from mega corps and share it with friends.
And it’s not even stealing. After all, they still have the thing too.
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.
Unless they were returning the treasure to the natives, it’s still stealing dude lol
Good luck bringing back a treasure to the rightful owner, when the rightful owner has been killed along with his family. Also, usually the thieves would not write “stolen from person X in Y” on their gold bars.
And let’s not forget that a non-negligible part of the pirates were in fact former slaves that either fled on their own or have been freed directly by other pirates. So they basically fought their previous “owners”.
They understand perfectly. This is called propaganda. They are trying to brainwash kids into not being good pirates.
how bout i take a propa ganda at them honkers
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.

Also Disney:
Those are the worst pirates I’ve ever heard of.
If buying isn’t owning…
You wouldn’t download a pirate ship.
If i could, I probably would, tbh
To hell with that, I’d download two.
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.
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.
Seeders aren’t complete freeloaders
I always try to 5:1
(this is only for a short period)
You dont need to be good at crime to commit them.
Well “true good pirates”. However I am somewhere between “chaotic good” and “chaotic neutral”.
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.
Ah but Copyright Infringement isn’t theft. So you can be practically AND morally good!
My brain hurts 😜
Here we see a fake Disney pirate confront a real Disney pirate…
For Disney a good pirate is just aesthetics they can make money off of.
“Even Batman listens to his parents”
Man, that’s hallucinations. Maybe a night too many with scarecrow’s drug.
