Any one that travels by boat knows that any info on Pirates, world wide is published monthly in boating mags & periododicals. The governmet also puts out notices to travelers. Piraticy has been reported on for at least the last 30 yrs in various maritime publications that I can remember, this has been the most newsworthy though. In the distant past it mostly involoved drugs, we're now in a brave & BOLD new world.
