Anywhere were there was a ship to loot.

Many English privateers of the 17th century concentrated their activities on the Spanish shipping lanes, which carried supplies to Spanish colonies and treasure back to Spain.

In the modern day, pirates are mostly in areas such as Africa (Somalia), southwest Asia, and some islands of the Caribbean, where maritime law is laxly enforced. This can be due to political indifference or the lack of resources to monitor extensive sea areas.
