Low sec's Reward vs Risk doesn't stack up against High sec's Reward vs Risk. The extra isk mining in low sec doesn't cover a new Covetor if a PvP'er decides you're a fair target.
Low Sec is full of 'Carebear PvPers', those who like PVP put don't have the spheres to jump to 0.0
High Sec is full of 'CareBear Industrialists', those who like mining but don't have the spheres to jump to 0.0.
Low sec is fun for taking a team of TechI frigates and go ratting. You sometimes come across the CareBear PvPers that you can give a good spanking too and then listen to the 'Thats not fair, that was 5 against 1' whining. These are usually the folk who destroy Covetors using a HAC and think thats fair.

I think the term 'pirate' is currently mis-used in terms of EVE.
Very few of these PvPers actually hunt/destroy other players for financial benefit. They do it simply because they enjoy it. They use ships which are greatly overpowered for the job, such as HAC's to destroy Barges. What benefit could be had by warping into a belt and destroying a barge without even requesting any ransom? Result you scare them off and you cut off your supply (which is what has happened).
Calling these types of players 'pirates' simply gives real pirates a bad name.

In relation to those being 'pirated' the term has no other meaning other than 'losing one's ship to another player'
The only way the term 'Pirate' would be in contest, is between the Pirates themselves only :)
I'll take that as you're agreeing with me

Its sad how the low-sec pirates keep complaining about empty space and no targets.
First off, you pick on the easy targets who don't want to PvP. And they will not return, if they have to PvP.
Second, why the don't you (pirates in general) pirate the 0.0 alliances. Plenty of targets there.
It's a good point, sharks swim to the feeding ground, if the feeding ground is empty they find another one. They don't ask all the seals and fishes to come to the feeding ground to be eaten!
If the low-sec you're in has dried up then you'll have to find another source, if thats this 'dead ground' 0.0 that has been mentioned and hitting alliance targets comeing up to Empire then so be it. Imagine taking a juicey alliance freighter
