Except those, who had letters of marque and were nothing more than  
sailing mercenaries.

I think, that you won't accept "burning down ships, killing the  
sailors and stealing their goods" as another possible reason?

As you say, they had rules to follow. So where exactly is the difference?

a) as an opposite zu capitalism: yes. but I know, that a true  
communismn cannot be reached. so I waste only little time on that idea

b) don't grab quote out of there context. I think that was the thread,

pirates in front of somalia.

You should really settle down on a straight accusation against me and  
not mix them in even a single mail.
