It's an AP article - their words not mine. And it is a fairly well accepted use of the word - is this a French / English problem? We have them all the time here in Canada.

That kind of "insurance" is illegal, and will most likely result in fines for the "insurance company", or maybe even prison.

I didn't use any smileys or anything to indicate that I wasn't being rational. Or as fat_boy would've said "I was taking the piss". But I was fairly sure that no smiley was needed. Maybe I was wrong. :)

"A pirate is one who robs or plunders at sea without a commission from a recognised sovereign nation. Pirates usually target other ships, but have also attacked targets on shore. These acts are known as piracy" I expect software industries and other copyrights owners to use the word "genocide" in a near future...

I wonder if the Americans 'Patriots' were Pirates too then in addition to being Smugglers, Arsonists, Geurillas and Terrorists? Nunc est bibendum
