>From my reading, pirates/piracy as relates to copyright was actually
coined looong ago, well before software.  It originally referred to
publishers who found ways (often legal by means of other countries'
laws) to reprint works and not pay the author.  I'm pretty sure I once
read that the Gilbert & Sullivan operetta The Pirates of Penzance was
spurred at least in part by such copyright pirates.
