privateer

I like Pirates of the Caribbean, but Im not about to start a career as a privateer.

What was the difference between a pirate and a privateer in the 19th century?

Many privateer ships were commissioned when their host nation went to war and decommissioned when the war ended.

The Spanish weren't about to invade a port with cannons on its battlements and dozens of privateer and pirate ships docked.

Maybe they are revoking cops "privateer" license for now in order to have a carrot to negotiate with later.

The Spanish knew where the pirates and privateers were running to, but they were well enough armed that you wanted superior numbers.

I'll always compare games to pirates, UO, EQ, privateer, d2 and qwctf because they were my seminal games in various categories.

It will only take one nation permitting privateers to operate before all nations and companies of size will be operating privateers.

Note that privateer ships were often enlisted by the military during wars, so it's safe to assume an assault on a pirate haven was out of the question for the military.

They are restricted from applying a freedom of entrepreneurship that privateer and slavers enjoyed in 19th century, or mobsters during the early 20th century.

And after the privateer teams were gone, there was no real reason for the bigger teams to compete with each other in Group C when they could do so in F1 with the same engines: an outcome which very nicely lined Bernie's pockets.
