| | Piracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Piracy is of note in international law as it is commonly held to represent the earliest invocation of the concept of universal jurisdiction. | | | The letter of marque was recognized by convention—for example, the United States Constitution of 1787 specifically authorizes Congress to issue letters of marque and reprisal—and meant that a privateer could not technically be charged with piracy. | | | The crime of piracy is considered jus cogens, a conventional peremptory international norm from which states may not derogate. |

| | Conversely, acts otherwise constituting piracy done for purely political motives, as in the case of insurgents not recognized as belligerents, are not piratical. | | | To constitute the crime of piracy, the illegal acts must be committed for private ends. | | | The same acts committed in the internal waters, territorial sea, archipelagic waters, or national airspace of a nation do not constitute piracy in international law but are, instead, crimes within the jurisdiction and sovereignty of the littoral nation. |

| | Hence, piracy is not merely about the illegal sharing of software or protection of personal property, there is more at stake when it comes to the freedom to share all information without restrictions. | | | Some groups including the Free Software Foundation object to the term "software piracy." Their objection stems from the idea that to label one as a pirate creates a prejudice that is used to gain political ground. | | | The copyright infringement of software, also called software piracy, refers to several practices when done without the permission of the copyright holder: |

Arrest and prosecution are solely dependent on the country in whose jurisdiction the crime occurs. | | | The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea defines piracy as violence on the high seas, i.e., beyond any state's 12-nautical-mile territorial waters. | | | So far, only maritime powers such as the United States, Canada, major European countries, Australia, China and Japan have signed the convention. |

| | You agree to the licensing agreement when you open the software package (this is called a shrink wrap license), when you open the envelope that contains the software disks, or when you install the software. | | | When you purchase a commercial software package, an end user license agreement (EULA) is included to protect that software program from copyright infringement. | | | Similarly, freeware, a type of software that is copyrighted but freely distributed at no charge, also offers little incentive for piracy. |

| | Although more than 70 percent of piracy takes place in ports, no internationally sanctioned security guidelines (similar, for example, to guidelines distributed by the aviation industry) are distributed to port authorities. | | | Today's pirates appear to be a heterogeneous group that includes opportunistic fishermen, common criminals, Asian mafia, and in some cases members of the maritime security forces responsible for safeguarding shipping. | | | To date, however, there has been no attempt by either the United States or the IMO to promulgate security guidelines for the ports themselves. |

| | A key point in the definition of piracy: according to international law, is that the act takes place outside the normal jurisdiction of a state, without state authority, and that the intent is private, not political. | | | Any robbery or other violent action, for private ends and without authorization by public authority, committed on the seas or in the air outside the normal jurisdiction of any state. | | | Thus, although acts of unlawful warfare, acts of insurgents and revolutionists, mutiny, and slave trading have been defined as piracy by national laws of various countries or by special treaties, they are not, in most cases, piracy by the law of nations. |
