Arrrrr!

Are you a pirate? Sure, you'll never admit it, especially if your next door neighbor is a police officer, or maybe you don't even know. There are many kinds of pirates:

- The professional pirate; they'll make millions on pirated movies and software

- The hobbyist pirate; they'll hack software for fun, or to stretch their coding muscles before starting work on their own programs

- The casual pirate; they'll usually use the other pirates' hard work, and occasionally contribute something themselves

- The "innocent" pirate; they'll maybe send their favorite songs to their friends over email or IM, not realizing that, technically, it's illegal

- The leech; the'll download a whole hard drive's worth of pirated software, songs, movies, and anything else they can get their hands on, and not even thank them or contribute

So, are you a pirate? Sure you are. Admit it. You've shared software or songs at some point - or have leeched them. Jack Sparrow would be proud.

But why is the rum gone?
