No. They wouldn't be called pirates if they were. Pirates have been around for centuries and still exist. The one outstanding thing about pirates is they make their own rules and change them when they need to.

How did the british royal navy deal with pirates?

The British Royal Navy dealt with pirates through a combination of military action, legal authority, and strategic partnerships.

The Navy also collaborated with colonial governments to enforce anti-piracy laws and offered pardons to pirates who surrendered. Additionally, the establishment of the Admiralty Court allowed for the prosecution of captured pirates, ensuring they faced legal consequences for their actions.

Is it legal for mercenaries hired by cargo ship companies to shoot and kill somali pirates?

If the Somalian pirates are threatening or attacking the ship, yes, it is perfectly legal for the mercenaries to shoot at and kill the pirates. And they have done. The mercenaries are hired to protect the ship and the crew. They are often armed with automatic assault rifles for shooting at sea, automatic sub machine guns for shooting at pirates who have boarded the ship (smaller space = smaller guns) and handguns as a secondary. Some larger corporations may also include a LAW rocket launcher for sinking small vessels. The British and French navy also patrol waters where pirates are known and attack or detain them. Piracy is just as illegal today as it was hundreds of years ago, and the fight against it is still on.
