Pirate

A pirate is a lawless individual who works aboard a ship and makes his living stealing property and/or valuables from other individuals. The act of committing such deeds is called piracy. In modern times, the term is usually applied to people who illegally download movies and music thus putting thousands of hard-working industry professionals out of work (or so they say). There are varying stereotypes associated with being a pirate. This includes wearing an eye patch, having a hook for a hand, a wooden prosthetic for a leg and a pet parrot perched upon ones shoulder.
