A Tribute to Piracy

Maybe you never thought about it, but piracy is definitely important for the development of the human kind.
From clearing remote waters and exploring new lands, facing the strongest storms, dealing with the most diverse cultures and people, revolutionizing the technology with computers and the new forms of sharing media, they've always been there.

More than money, fame, books or movies, pirates always outlined radical changes in the world. Much more than material stuff, I'm talking about cultural and behavioral changes. Take your time and think about it. We owe them a lot.

Let's make this party not a simple party, but a tribute to piracy!!
