Call me childish

but I can't help but giggle when people talk about pirates.

I've gotten used to the term in reference to copyrighted material and IP- but in reference to robbing ships in modern day- it still gets me.

I was wondering though, if 'pirating' HAD to be at sea. If someone jacks your car at a stoplight, are they commiting vehicular piracy? I think we should start using this more. It makes people smile.

Ok, it makes me smile. Probably wouldn't if it happened to me... but then again it might be cool to say that I was captured by pirates.
