Piracy pretty much always exists. As long as valuables are being transported by ship there will be people who want to capture those ships.

Yeah, but modern pirates with small motorboats and automatic guns don't have the flair that hollywood pirates are known for.

Actual 17th-18th century pirates didn't really have that flair either.

They did live on sailboats, sail the caribbean and wear 17th/18th century clothes.
