Pirates? or Terrorists?


Pirates. Although we think of Black Beard, or Captain Jack Sparrow navigating through the great oceans by compass in the 1600s, Pirates are still in effect today. Throughout the years pirating has changed drastically. No longer are pirates searching for gold and gems, today they're looking to steal importing and exporting goods and hijacking ships.  Pirates interest me because of their rebellious lifestyles. As a child I would dress up as a pirate and take boat rides with my friends and family on lake Ontario. It's interesting to watch things like pirates evolve. Most people today think pirating is extinct, but it's actually happening not on the seas anymore. Musicians music and works are being pirated and leaked on illegal websites for free downloading. In this article it says "Somali pirates are becoming the masters of the Ocean". A further question I have about this article is how about do these pirates get away with most of their crimes. I would also recommend this article to anyone who is interested in modern day pirates. I find this article to be very trustworthy because the picture was leaked by U.S Navy.
