Give it time. The judge didn't make his ruling out of a love for pirates. It was a tougher legal case than you might think, given that the law of piracy is rather old and musty in the United States, and the precedent a poor fit for the instant matter. I think that the judge interpreted it within the narrow limits to which non-activist judges usually confine their rulings knowing that it's going up to the Fourth Circuit on Appeal, and probably with the sincere hope that the he'll be overturned.
