I challenge you to take over an area of space, build some outposts and then keep it open to neutrals.
If you do not do this, I believe I have proved my point.
You challenge us to act in a manner that you know is contrary to our ideology and then say that if we do not do this you have proven some 'point'.
Nonsense.
Mind you, I'm going to be honest and say that I don't believe the CVA can be described as 'pirates'. They are tyrannical, capricious aggressors running a tinpot theocratic police state as a proxy for a loathesome and bankrupt empire, with a definition of 'neutral' that is debatable to say the least, but 'pirates'? No, I wouldn't call them 'pirates'.
These days the word really only has meaning when applied to those who embrace it as a description of their chosen trade. In almost every other case it is used as simply a curse-word.

Actually through a few discussions i was having with folk from your very organisation that a cooperative effort like that would likely be possible under your ideals. It just prohibits the enforcement of restrictions, boundaries from without on the denizens of this region and not actually 'laying claim' to area rather just using the sovereignty system to support the outpost.
Correct me if i'm wrong.
And to Casserina: if CVA pops a ship in a warrented manner then the equipment left is considered forfeit of the opponent and confiscated.
The crews, if present, are not our concern.

By warrented i mean a person on the Providence/CVA KOS list. This means wartargets of the corporations and pirates. And to define pirates: those who would prey on those who are neutral or friendly to CVA.
Quite simple really, the spoils are treated like the spoils of any war, normally going to reimburse those who may have lost ships in anti-pirate operations.

Look into their methods of fighting, because yesterday they tried to ransom a member of PIE just 1 jump from your outpost in a bubble camp.

I hope the pilot failed to pay and died.
No, the ransomers were too busy talking and he manoevured free of the bubble and escaped. I don't know about you but if i find a terrorist, and am in position to defeat him, i don't ransom him. I shoot him.
Ransoming pilots, is what pirates do. These Einherjar folks seem to have more commitment to their wallets than the 'cause'.

The more I think about it, the more the CVA's approach
Now i'm a pirate because I try to free an oppressed people and will kill anyone supporting those that support the slavers? Come on... smear tactics only work when you have an ounce of credibility left.
No, you're not a pirate - for your actions against the Empire you're a terrorist.

No, that sort of event can't really be seen as piracy, more of a compromise between mistake and idiot tax.
