| - Piracy
- Commerce raiding, usually referred to as "piracy", is the act of robbing and/or hijacking spaceships. Piracy usually is conducted for the purpose of seizing valuable commodities from civilians, usually House shippers and corporations, but sometimes is aimed at hijacking ships, sometimes large ones, either for sale or use by the pirates themselves.
- Piracy is a crime that usually refers to people who commit robbery or other crimes at sea, although technically the term can also apply to space travelers who do the same thing, such as looting space vessels rather than ships. Green Arrow stopped some pirates on Starfish Island. This even made front page news for the Daily Star.
- There are those who treat every aspect of life as a business, and war is no exception. From arms companies reeling in defence contracts, to jewellers finding a market for jewelled bombsights, war has always been where the big money is to be found. Usually, however, the delineation between opposing sides has been a factor in the business, with no company eager to betray their nation or city. Not everyone, however, follows the same set of ethics.

- Piracy, also known as plundering, is a common term for destroying trade routes. Piracy can only occur when a player has a fleet over a base that has no defense fleet. The base need not be occupied, it just needs to have no defense fleet. When a trade route is pirated, the distance of the trade route is converted to credits and given to the 'pirate'.
- Piracy is a dangerous, frowned upon, and difficult career path for players to choose. For the bold, however, piracy is a potentially lucrative path, filled with harrowing adventure and riches. Although piracy as a career path is supported by Cloud Imperium Games, choosing the life of a pirate does not come without consequences. Pirates cannot safely travel in UEE space, and they are denied landing rights and station conveniences on UEE controlled worlds. In addition to this, bounty hunters regularly patrol lawless systems in the hope of capturing or killing a pirate. Thus, pirates will need skill, intelligence, and luck to survive in the 'verse.
- This new system of Space Combat was added to the game along with other Space and GCW improvements with Game Update 16. The Piracy system allows for space content almost on a par with Instances, in which players use interdiction technology to pull heavily armored convoys out of hyperspace. Once the convoys have been brought to a halt, players are then tasked with destroying the freighters and their escorts and will receive special rewards for doing so. Special components are required before the interdiction can take place. These components can be gained through performing the new Space Duty Missions.
- Piracy is the term given to robbery at sea, or sometimes on shore, by an agent without commission from a sovereign nation. Those who commit the act of piracy—and by extension, robbery, pillaging, or plundering at sea—are known as pirates. Piracy in the Caribbean was regarded as the Golden Age of Piracy, which began around 1700, and continued up throughout the late 1740s and the early 1750s. Two of the most infamous pirate bases in the Caribbean were Port Royal and Tortuga.

- Besides the whole Blackbeard-Johnny Depp-Somali pirates idea, piracy can also refer to illegal use, production or distribution of copyright-protected material, such as music, books or films, without the permission of the copyright-holder and the accompanying royalties. This meaning is actually surprisingly old, dating back to at least the seventeenth century. The dual meaning of piracy probably derives from the fact that sea pirates would sell their stolen goods, and people who sold books they didn't own the rights to were perceived to be profiting in a similarly dishonest manner. Copyright piracy is also often referred to as "bootlegging" which was originally a term for the unlicensed liquor trade. Copyright piracy is often called "theft", but from a legal point of view, that is unarguabl
- Piracy was a form of crime and disruption common from the 1400s to the 1800s, committed by pirates. Pirates were people who chose to live on the oceans of the world with the goal of looting or destroying opposing ships and finding lost treasure such as gold or diamonds. Some pirates would kill those who stood in their way while others found other ways to put their victims to use. They wore tattoos and earrings. People who chose this practice were hunted down by naval fleets and executed for treason, sedition, and other acts.
- A pirate is one who robs or plunders at sea without a commission from a recognised sovereign nation. Pirates usually target other ships, but have also attacked targets on shore. These acts are known as piracy. Unlike the stereotypical pirate with cutlass and masted sailing ship, today most pirates get about in speedboats wearing balaclavas instead of bandanas, using AK-47s rather than cutlasses.
- Acts of piracy could be traced back as far as Earth's 18th century, particularly to the Caribbean. Piracy continued well into the 1980s, when whalers illegally hunted whales. When humans went into space, they saw other species committing acts of piracy. In the 2150s decade, Earth freighter starships were attacked by Nausicaan pirates. In the Delphic Expanse, some ships that were stranded were forced to resort to piracy. One group were Osaarian merchants that became trapped there. Orions were also known to be pirates, when they stole equipment and people for their slave market from the 2150s to the 2260s.
- At the time of its release in the year, 1999, The Matrix drifted into the likes of the young in Asian cities, leading distributors to sell a large stack of VCR tapes featuring the pirated theater version but the boom of technology in the 3rd millennium largely replaced VCRs with DVD and CD players. The soundtrack of The Matrix was also released on illegal cassettes, mostly to be used in vehicles.
- Piracy is typically an act of robbery or criminal violence at sea. The term can include acts committed on land, in the air, in space, or in other major bodies of water or on a shore. It does not normally include crimes committed against persons traveling on the same vessel as the perpetrator (e.g. one passenger stealing from others on the same vessel). The term has been used throughout history to refer to raids across land borders by non-state agents.
- by A Libertarian I keep on hearing aboot the issue of piracy since I, like many people, use the Internets. piracy is a big issue since, apparently, through the use of words, we are tying old pirates (people that would go out at sea and steal gold and kill innocent men, woman, and children) to Internet pirates (kids that use Utorrent, Bitlord, Isohunt or azureus to download things they otherwise probably wouldn't be able to afford). piracy is an ethical issue that i, being a wise individual (or consumer if you are from NB(S)C and see people as numbers with wallets), feel I must bring up and take a side on.
- Piracy is the art of legally copying software by not paying to the creators which can help decrease greed in the world. Companies who make claims that they own software by copyrights are only showing that they follow laws set down by other humans rather than by accepting the laws of the universe that all objects are owned by no one; rather items and objects are subjected to the greater area called the universe where they are subjected to the path of the universe.
- Piracy was a human term describing a robbery committed at sea, or sometimes on the shore, without a commission from a sovereign nation (robbery with sovereign commission was called privateering, and was distinct from piracy). In the Post Diaspora era, humanity saw a resurrection of this ancient criminal tradition in the form of space piracy. The Silesian Confederacy was haunted by pirates. Both the Star Kingdom of Manticore and the Andermani Empire battled local pirate ships in the Confederacy to assure the safety of their trading lines.

- From Wikipedia on Piracy : A pirate is one who robs or plunders at sea without a commission from a recognised sovereign nation. Pirates usually target other ships, but have also attacked targets on shore. These acts are known as piracy. In Eve, one may swap the words 'at sea' for 'in space'. Pirates are, under this definition, pilots who attack other ships without political motive nor under the command of a non-pirate organisation, rather for financial gain or pleasure. There are in fact several type types of piracy. People are getting more unique on how they pirate every day.
