Ok I think it is fair enough to say that at the moment pirates have the upper hand in when playing eve.
Any pirate can easily enter a system (0.4) and hold a ship until they give them money to let go. They can then warp to a safe spot and wait 15min for the flag to wear off then they insta to the gate where all the victim's friends are waiting but he warps straight through and instas away into the cosmos.
Pirate corps tend to be small while real players corps are big so we cant war dec. them.
Another thing is if you decide to put a bounty on them all they do is wait till the bounty builds up to be more isk that it would cost to die then they get a friend or alt, in the absence of friends to pod kill them. Then collect the large amount of money.
Or we could go in search of the pirates but that usually ends up in them going to 0.0 killing a few rats bringing there standing up to 0.0 and then they go to 1.0 space to prey on noobs. There has to be another way to get them and heres how i think it should be done.
-Increase flag time to 30min
-Give kill rights for being attacked (not just blown up)
-kill rights should spread to the entire corp
-Change bounty's so that only the corp who put up the bounty and other
players who have been given the right to collect the bounty can collect.
-Introduce system wide scanner post's which are put in orbit around moons in 0.4 and lower which can be used by the corp which put them up to instantly find a hiding pirate maby take 30min to get a location
These changes would not make it impossible for people to pirate it would just even up the odds. And tbh make pirating a little more intresting because they would then need a little skill.

Have you actually tried being a pirate? Their life is far from as easy as you describe already. Also it's quite easy to go around them when living in low sec space if you just use at least 2 braincells. I can also see some 50+ player pirate corporations daily, are those too small for you to wardec for real?

About a year ago I floated my solution to this problem but was shouted down by the rats for obvious reasons.
Simple institute shoot on sight rules in Empire space for anyone who has a WANTED tagged on them. These are criminals so why not be able to take them out no matter where they are or what they are flying by anyone? We are the good guys after all. Concord cares less who is flying in Empire space seemingly more occupied looking for contraband cargo. If they cannot do the job then let us.
Many times I have seen -10.0 rats flying in 1.0 systems in BBs. What's up with that? Would you allow a known mass murderer wander your neighborhood while the police told you they were to busy looking for drug smugglers to apprehend him?
Yes CCP caters to Rats.... arrgh!

How about this ? :
-Decrease flag time
 Quote:
-kill rights should spread to the entire corp
Tottaly agree and vice-versa.

No and destroy even the little bounty hunters that are leaft?

Ok making people have to get the right to collect on bountys will not get rid of the bounty hunters it will just mean all they got to do is convo a person in the corp that put the bounty up its not that hard.
And yes scanner posts its does take a while to find a prat hiding n a safespot if there was a system you could log into that would give you a warp to location of the pirate it would be quicker and easier to find em and kill em.
Yes increase flag time prats get away far to fast do you not want a little competition or are you just scared 
"Try to make piracy your living in eve without an carebear alt to back you up and stop making assumptions about pirates ..."
this is the proble everyone is turining into a pirate soon there will be nobody left but pirates which would make a very boaring game never to mind the fact the market would crumble. "Stop making assumptions about prats" lol you have got to be kidding me i know a few people who left my old corp to become prats and they agree with me it is the easy way in eve . I prefere a challenge and currently it is far to much in favor of the prats.
