Stole something, especially intellectual property like movies, music, or software, usually using illegal copies.
From Greek 'peirates' (one who attempts, robber), evolved through Italian and French pirates who attacked ships. The term expanded in modern times to mean stealing digital content.
The word 'pirate' comes from Greek 'peirates' meaning 'one who attacks/attempts,' and it literally describes someone trying to take what isn't theirs—which applies just as well to stealing movies online as it did to 17th-century ship raids.
