If so, I would assume it to be likely that thanks to the inconsistent way in which the piracy at Somalia is adressed (or better: not adressed), the example of the somali pirates has spread. And why not if these pirates show the world since 18 months that their business model works so well. Success triggers copying, doesn't it.

Piracy has always been across the globe and will always be across the globe no msteer what happens or doesn't happen in Somalia, theonly reson you link Somalia with recent piracy is because of the recent headlines.
All the time it was going on off W.Africa , the China sea and S. America not a whisper ...but now its just the somalis that must be the prime example.

Even if you discount privateering you are several hundred years out, piracy in the Baltic didn't die out after the big guild wars
