Yeah i believe they dont assign ideas with a _real_ pirate or corsair
(or mercenaries as most of them were, some paid by nations)
but simply more because of the idea behind them. (Or an
idealized idea... )

Even then I'd personally find there would be better examples to use than
a pirate BUT given the success of movies such as a certain movie with
johnny depp, or a certain swedish site shooting at Hollywood industry, i
think its no surprise that so much gets assoced in a
positive manner with pirates ...
In fact I already wondered where the ruby pirates
are, aye mate ;)
