@darkmagicasorseer That is the dumbest thing ever! When at sea it is true that once out of a certain league you no longer have to comply with certain laws of the country but there are the rules of the Sea decided universally, which basically is no piracy no attacking of neuteral ships or merchant ships eg trade. cruise, ferrys. Something that theese pirates do and therefore must be condemned! You are a fool with as much common sense as a battery hen!

[darkmagicasorseer]

There is no jurisdiction on the sea actually... that is one of the factor for piracy...
