Piracy is a thriving black market business. Whether it involves robberies at high seas or unauthorized reproduction of copyrighted material, billions of dollars are lost annually to overzealous pirates.
The last couple of years have seen many countries enhance armed patrol along their maritime borders while also strengthening their copyright laws. There have also been numerous publications, television documentaries, and movies that portray piracy as a perilous business which often leads to dire consequences.
