#2 ummm ... I don't agree.

Piracy can be carried out for all sorts of reasons - usually it is simple theft, sometimes with murder committed as part of the theft.

#3 Terrorism is another name for war. I don't think a bunch of dirt-poor Indonesian criminals stealing the DVD players and wallets from the living quarters of a container ship is terrorism.

I think that right now, piracy is receiving next to zero attention. Thus, it will only grow. And in so growing, it will become more dangerous.

#4 The current levels of piracy is desensitizing law enforcement. Petty theft today, something more serious tomorrow.
