Given the "pirate" on its name, the business is probably a parody of online services that allow downloads of audio files, typically music, for free and without any regard for copyright laws, such as Napster. They are one of the official sponsor of the CNT program I'm Rich. In 2004, Goldberg, Ligner & Shyster filled a lawsuit against Pirate Music, claiming that they made a young boy named Nick Patterson become obsessed with Richard Wagner operas. Goldberg lost the case, because of a lack of "common sense".
