Unfortunately I agree.
Something will have to be changed. Either laws or the attitude of sailors/officers/merchant marine companies. The less pressure you put on pirates the more active they will become and that means companies will start hiring security companies and mercenaries to secure safe travel and then things will get out of hand.
I am studying nautics, which means that one day I'll be an officer on a ship. And if theirs a decision to protect my crew or obey the laws, I'll choose the safety of the crew. And if that means having a consealed stash of AK's on board and then killing every pirate that comes near me I'll take the chance before court. What's a few years in prison, as long as I am still alive.
