Roaming 0.0 in a mother ship is Piracy? How is that any different than a 0.0 PvP Corp with an MS?
Not that piracy is the exclusive domain of 0.1 > 0.4, but we do our fair share of killing in lowsec too.
For referance out of the 571 battleship killed that Hera has claimed, 254 have been in low sec (10 of 15 Faction BS kills) as has 7 of 11 frieghters as well as 3 of her carrier kills.
Amusingly Hera in her one year of service has actualy outkilled your entier corporation since 2004 on all quality targets (Capitals, Battleships and Command Ships) and while checking these stats I've noticed that your target selection and method of engement does not even qualify you as real pirates but more accuratly thugs. (Not a bad thing if thats what your aiming for)

Gratz, you win the 'who can kill the most worthy targets in a moship contest'. All targets are 'worthy' to me, as in, I see something flying I shoot it then it explodes.
Thats all very well, but thats not piracy. Piracy is the boarding, capture or destruction of a vessel for profit. To put this into real life terms to fit a current street crime, what we and most pirates do is likened to being muggers. What you do goes into the same catagory as murderers, pedophiles and rapists.
Not to say that in eve, the indescriminate killing and abuse of other players, no matter how small is a bad thing, but that again isnt piracy. Thats thuggery.

The establishment afaik are not a pirate corp... whats your sec status out of interest ?, I've never seen a pirate with -3.4 sec staus before. I'm not saying that makes you any less a player... it does just suggest you are not all you claim to be.
I'd say by the true definition of a pirate, we are probably more so than yourselves. Sec status isnt a measure of pirating skill, but rather a measure of you being a indescriminate killer. Again nothing wrong with that, but that isnt piracy. (Besides, sec ratings can be repaired and often have to be for us when we go out on contracts.)
