Have you ever noticed that in today's significant books and shows the pirates are shown as good guys. Yes, there are sometimes good and bad pirates, but the protagonists of the show are shown as pirates, yet they're good.
Pirates, by definition plunder ships, they're considered criminals because they are essentially thieves and sometimes serial killers. They shouldn't be considered heroes because they're not heroes.
You could depicts privateers as heroes, they live the life of a pirate except legally and a lot of the time more ethically, though it depends. Then again, they're mercenaries, they're not doing what they do out of kindness.

@wein
Don't base a whole country on a certain section of their population. |

| Cheat sheet for World History: Everyone's a scumbag. Pirates are in violation of the law because they steal. The country or person they steal from has likely done something bad in their life. Is the pirate justified? Is the person's bad actions justified? What is appropriate justification anyway? |

| Honestly, my opinion would be both good and bad because some pirates can be fun and weird and some pirates can be bang on "FREAKY"! |

| Pirates were horrible people. A very few of them had some form of honor, but not much. |

| Pirates have been made to look 'not to bad' because of Hollywood. They were criminals like any other. |

Pirates were pretty bad, but not all of them were. Some helped out their country by cutting off enemy ships.
However, most pirates were only in it for money and it was a pretty awful life, being a pirate. |

| Why do you all speak of pirates in a past tense? Pirates still exist today, although it probably isn't AS much of a huge thing. |

| Pirates are illegal. - - -Piracy- - - Thats why they are called that. they steal from people, murder, and pillage just for money, which they usually blow off automatically. |
