FYI: the French Pirates were heroes in the US revolution. They helped the colonies and pirated the British ships.
Back when the Spanish were the big power, (from looting South American), the British became pirates to spread out some of the wealth.
Many pirates started off as smugglers because of the British taxes to the american colonies. Eventually they diversified to piracy of British ships.
Hench all the romantic stories about the Pirates of the Caribbean. They were seen as the Robin hoods of the sea.
One countries pirate is another ones hero.
I kind of seem myself as a Lady taken by a pirate captain and held for ransom but eventually not wanting to go back! I am sure there was a movie like that.
