The whole "I'm a pirate but you aren't" argument that is advanced by many on these forums is just plain pointless. Moreover, distinguishing a pirate from any other sort of person based on the fact that they claim territory or not (such as the case of GN and TPS) is also wrong. You can still be a pirate, i.e. robbing people and stealing from them (see above), while at the same time claiming a "home" territory. In fact, many examples of historical pirates in the real world serve this end as well - the Barbary pirates held and claimed a small island in the Mediterranean as their "home base."
According to your definition of "pirate" all alliances are pirates: they claim territory and kill/plunder intruding ships. Even english fleet was called a pirate fleet by the spanish king. Vikings where called pirates. But these groups where navy forces. To be pirate you have to do one thing: robbery! Break the law! The Concord law, the CA law, the PA law, the FA law, the Norad law, the Xetic law, the FU law! You donŠt care about these nations and their law/naps/politics at all! Otherwise you are a privateer, mercenairy, a navy officer, a bountyhunter - but no pirate! A pirate has a black flag and no alliance sig!

Do what you will. It matters not what you are 'called', or what the damn definition is.

A pirate is a pirate. Who cares what someone else defines it as.

First off, agree with Cao Cao.
Originally by: Vashy Stampede
Sure I buy that. Not sure why you're doing this thread, though. On a slightly dif note, I'd like to say that ore thieving is also pirating. Not that I'm associated with that in anyway, but just wanted to point it out.
Ore thieving isn't pirating. The definition of piracy needs to include some aspect of illegality and risk. Ore thieving in empire has very little risk attached to it and isn't considered illegal by the government, so it isn't piracy, much as it IS a starting point and/or sometime hobby for pirates.

What point? Eve is a community with a high proportion of idiots that obssess about stupid dumb crap that doesn't mean anything other than to justify the pedanticism that they base their lives around. Therefore, anyone that engages in PvP is a pirate. Its Eve logic.

Taxing people is extortion too. I mean, you pay taxes, and if you don't, your ass gets put into jail. Government or no government, your ass is being exploited by someone. A pirate is just a weaker brand of criminal.
