I had a lot of questions about the state or piracy and how pirates feel about it so I decided to just put it in survey form.
1. How long have you been an outlaw?
2. What do you think about people having alts for carebearing or hauling in high-sec?
3. How do you feel about pirates that mostly camp gates in large battleship gangs?
4. What do you think about belt and mission runner hunting?
5. Which one do you prefer? (see 3 and 4)
5. What do you think about "mercenary" corps?
6. Are there enough targets in your home systems?
7. How often do you get a chance to ransom?
8. Which ship do you find yourself mostly piloting?
9. How do you feel about low-sec mothership camping?
Thank you for your time. 
1) Since march
2) There are only 2 alt functions a pirate should ever need - a scout and a hauler, supposing corp mates are unavailable.
3) Camping gates is a lottery, it can be very boring at times especially in large numbers. In groups of 2-4 though it's often quiet entertaining when you get a command ship or hac jump in, and can actually have a close fight. Rest of the time is a snoozefest with lack of adrenaline.
4) Belt piracy is great fun, I get some real adrenaline kicks out of it, especially against pirate bait ships. Mission probing is exciting too and the loot makes it worthwile.
5) 4
5 err b) Mercenary corps can play an important role in the game, people who can't defend themselves hire mercs to pick on pies, resulting in much pew pew to be had.
6) There's plenty of targets about, you just need patience and learn to pick your targets carefully.
7) I don't ransom things very often, usually prefer a killmail over isk, unless I think the victim has an expensive fit. Half of the time I'm taking big hits in structure when the opponent goes pop, so I don't think about convo'ing.
8) Thorax - this ship is made of pure violence, it's a crazy gank ship. It will annihilate most T1 cruisers and AF's. In gangs their DPS is lethal.
9) Overkill. Really don't see much fun in being virtually 'invincible'. I have massive respect for x13 for their recent deeds.
