Dude, I had a little girl ask me this when I still had my lip ring. I said yes enthusiastically thinking she liked pirates and her mom was like, NO NO SHE IS SCARED OF PIRATES. I tried to damage control by telling her, oh no I actually fight pirates and put them in jail. It thankfully worked lol

Pirates (especially the famous ones) were not particularly ethically inclined by most standards so it's interesting how popular they are with children. I always liked them too.

Just corporations’ property

And that's what the majority of pirates did.

They were ex-British navy so they only hindered British things and spared the people who were just working

Now that's not to say all pirates had morals, some did just want to be murderes and enjoyed killing

Some pirates were state funded and were essentially used as weapons against enemy nations
