    This brief article changed my perspective on the stereotypes of piracy, both in the golden age of piracy and modern piracy. The author does a good job still maintaining lines of morality in modern piracy, not to glorify blatant criminals or to cast so called good-willed pirates as criminals. The relevance of the actions taken in the golden age of piracy by the powers at be draw strong parallels to the actions taken by world establishments today. The author goes on to expose the international community's exploitation of a failed country for profit, with no recourse.
