Romanticizing piracy of the 1600s is one thing; real life pirates today though, have no redeeming qualities.

pirates of the old days where mind-bogglinlgy viscous, more viscous than the weine "pirates" now.

Pirates of today probably look nothing like pirates of old with a modern touch. Those bone head pirates who where attacking cruise liners a year ago where most likely some poor guys in t-shirts and shorts with an ak-47 who ran away at the first sighn of the navy.
