Piracy is the taking of a ship, aircraft, or
any of its contents, from lawful ownership,
punishable under international law by the
court of any country where the pirate may be
found or taken. When the craft is taken over
to alter its destination, or its passengers
held to ransom, the term is hijacking. Piracy
is also used to describe infringement of
copyright.
