A good pirate doesn’t steal other peoples stuff! They simply take a copy. Yarr.
99 copies of a movie on the wall, 99 copies of that movie. Take one down, pass it around, still 99 copies of that movie on the wall
I dunno, if you take a copy for some reason there’s now 100 copies of that movie on the wall.
We’re hurting the economy by NOT making free copies of valuable content.
I like the way you think
As someone outside America’s (and upper-class England’s) sphere of education extortion, those who pirate and distribute textbooks are true gods - we get to learn for free for fifteen years, so should everyone.
9999 copies of that movie by my count, matey!
Arrr!
Well shiver me timbers matey!
Those are the worst pirates I’ve ever heard of.
Ah, but you have heard of them!
I have no idea who they are.
Jake and the Neverland Pirates. Part of the Peter Pan
cash cowextended universe, I guessThis is a brilliant joke, regardless of whether it was intentional.
Thank you :) I indeed parodied the DCEU
They understand perfectly. This is called propaganda. They are trying to brainwash kids into not being good pirates.
how bout i take a propa ganda at them honkers

Good luck with that, kids are learning pirating from their parents super young. Its really common at least in my area. It comes up in random conversation with strangers sometimes.
Also Disney:
Okay but… He wasn’t a good pirate.

Honestly, this is potentially among the top five best film dialog moments of the past thirty years.
That movie was far far better than it had any right to be. An absolute classic from start to finish.
It took the right lessons from Treasure Island in making the pirates incredibly likeable while still being all-around terrible people. Sparrow and Barbossa, plus their crew, absolutely stole the show from the actual leads. Combine that with surprisingly good writing and an amazing score and it ended up one of my favorite films despite being based on a theme park ride.
Allowing the pirates to steal the show from capable leads is what makes the first one so good. Making the pirates the leads, on the other hand, ends up being disappointing (see the sequels). Interesting lesson.
Agreed completely. A movie based on an overgrown Tunnel-O-Love?! Ridiculous. No way it’ll be anything even halfway good.
Shows how much I know.
In a world without global connectivity think how much this would mean? Mean he was probably harassing the British so maybe not as much as it could…
To me it means that so many have lived to tell the tale. And its consistently poor tale.
I agree. Don’t steal stuff which is owned by someone. Only steal from mega corps and share it with friends.
And it’s not even stealing. After all, they still have the thing too.
Good thing the corporations aren’t people, then
nor are the billionaires running them.
You wouldn’t download a pirate ship.
To hell with that, I’d download two.
And seed three.
If i could, I probably would, tbh
I just want to point out that Dick Fiasco is the best stripper name ever
I don’t know about that. It sounds like they would be a total disaster on stage.
Hmm, that could actually be entertaining. I’m in.
Neither the ship of Theseus
I would never! Just the spar. And later, the mainsail. After that the keel, and maybe the deck and gunwales. Then perhaps the poop deck and the rudder, later the helm…
The mast he can keep. For a while. Well, a mast.
They’re not totally wrong though. A huge share of the goods the Caribbean pirates “stole” didn’t belong to their “victims” anyway. In fact, most of it had previously been stolen from the native Americans who had been conquered and killed or extorted from slaves on the plantations. Stealing from a robber isn’t stealing imho.
Another, more modern example are the pirates of Somalia, who originally were fishermen. Only when foreign ships came into their waters to steal their fish and dispose toxic waste, they began to arm themselves to “steal” their own goods back.
Unless they were returning the treasure to the natives, it’s still stealing dude lol
Good luck bringing back a treasure to the rightful owner, when the rightful owner has been killed along with his family. Also, usually the thieves would not write “stolen from person X in Y” on their gold bars.
And let’s not forget that a non-negligible part of the pirates were in fact former slaves that either fled on their own or have been freed directly by other pirates. So they basically fought their previous “owners”.
Yeah let’s not pretend they were some noble boat robin hoods they just stole what they could find it just so happened to be a lot of slave made stuff
Explain to me how overfishing and dumping by neighbour countries somehow justifies taking hostage a ship transporting goods from China to Europe?
If you steal my food and poison my soil until my family is starving, you shouldn’t be surprised when I come back at you. And don’t expect me to steal the fish back, that you’ve already eaten. Of cause I’ll take whatever I can get hold of.
It weren’t primarily neighbour countries, it were especially European and Chinese vessels that were doing that shit.
Okay you go there and do better then, smart guy.
Others take my means of getting food.
I take shit and food from others.
Don’t care about justification. That’s just what they do.
Try to live and probably since no-one really stops them continue to do so.
You could provide alternative ways to earn money if you want to.
Potatoes
Which kinda mean downloading Disney movie and series isn’t bad, because i didn’t take it from them, i merely copy from the internet and their stuff is still there, and
seedshare the thing i like.I AM a good pirate.
Obviously you must be an artist…
Well “true good pirates”. However I am somewhere between “chaotic good” and “chaotic neutral”.
If buying isn’t owning…
No no, that’s not incorrect actually. I never deprived anyone of anything. I merely make a copy. See? Good pirate !
I mean, yes. What is copied isn’t taken.
Disney: :| … >:|
Congressmen: “But… is it illegal?”
Disney: “I will make it illegal.”
For Disney a good pirate is just aesthetics they can make money off of.
Not quite. For Disney, their ideal pirate is at least a girlboss with confused gender partner.
Here we see a fake Disney pirate confront a real Disney pirate…
