Wow, I was quite taken aback, expecting to read about al-quaida, got robin hood instead.

Still, it is only one source, but having this version of this story of those so-called pirate is definitely a plus.

i've read that while the pirates were fishermen in the beginning (who really didn't have much choice), when people realised how profitable it was the trade was taken over by soldiers/mercenaries. the soldier-pirates are a lot worse than the fisherman-pirates and don't give back to the community quite as much.
