A couple of days ago i was leaving a station in Jita (0.7) when i saw a group of 10 maybe 20 player pirates causing havok around the sector. I followed them around, keeping a safe distance of 30km (which is my howitzers opt. range) incase i needed to protect myself. At one point i saw them, out of the blue, attack a Minmatar Battleship. This really suprised me as they took it out with no problem at all. In local chat they were harassing people and causing grief to the other 120+ in the sector.
When is something going to be done about these Player Pirates?

You have not seen an act of piracy but the result of a corporate war or alliance war, I think. Pirates would have been taken out by CONCORD very fast. Fast enough to prevent them to finish off a decent equipped battleship in time.
Of cause it is possible to do suicide attacks. But this will most likely happen to industrial vessels.
A CONCORD sanctioned war is never piracy. It may be of questionable value and ethics but it is not outlawed and therefore not piracy. CONCORD has established the corporate wars of two reasons: corporates are exterritorial entities that can face a legal war. Legal by controled CONCORD manners. This solution prevents larger scale problems to the economic system of the EVE universe and is better for the economy than cold war and espionage. It sorts out those who can not protect their assets and all in all strengthens the economy by selection.
It is not the always best fighter that will win those battles. It is the most social entity and those with the best morale. So all corporations have always to evolve, mutate and again fall under selection. This is progress and the backbone of the EVE economy.
It is true for the empires and it is true for the zero security sectors of outer space.
While an attacking corporation has to pay a fee for this, it is used by CONCORD to maintain the security for all inhabitants. You might be a fan of this or not a fan of this. But it is the way it is.
We Minmatar do not always are comfortable with the current laws because Amarr entrepeneurs and smugglers use the protection to deport Minmatar citizen and enslave them for the Amarr Empire. While slavery is a crime in Minmatar, it is legal in Amarr Empire. So if we want to get back our brothers and sisters, CONCORD will attack our ships if we try to seize them outside of Republican space.
If you look at this from this side, CONCORD indirectly supports slavery. This is the reason there have been actions from certain Minmatar groups against CONCORD in past. But it did not change the system. It just remembers everyone that nobody can stop the Minmatar of getting free. Even not CONCORD if they put them between us and freedom.
Whatever you do in EVE: protect yourself. You have competition and you have to proof yourself and your way. -- FREEDOM, PUNK & AUTOCANNONS
