Pirate?

Can you believe that is still pirate in such a civilised world? I doubt how they work, as there are satellites, radar, and all kind of stuff that can trace everything. The technology is so dedicated that even if you are showing in the bathroom, they can give 100% clear audio-visual images. So, how do those pirate work?

Why can't the ship / boat just turn away and put up the full speed and run away? Or they can simply report there is pirate and the satellites can trace, even they get robbed, question mark and question mark in my mind.

It's so cool to be pirate, treasure, women, alcohol, and the best is, DON"T NEED TO WORK HARD.
