Best Answer

Piracy has been a problem in the Caribbean for 5 centuries. There are a multitude of hideouts, and no central government authority for the region. At various times, piracy was accepted as long as the victims were from rival countries; for example, the British government paid British merchants to capture slave ships in the early 19th century. The Spanish, Dutch, and French similarly encouraged piracy at times. Even today, occassional acts of piracy occur in this region.

Yes, there are pirates existing this day. But they will not be exactly like what movies are depicting them. Pirates means "robbers on sea".

Yes, they are working off the coast of Africa and they hijack ships that come into their waters. They kill people and take them as hostages for money from companies who own the ships.
