They prefer instead to have insurance companies pay off the Pirates under their hijack policies. It is customary for the pirates to provide a detailed breakdown of their costs and expenses of kidnapping ships and their crew to justify the ransom they ask for. This breakdown always includes the cost of ammunition supplies.

What they really want is to bully the world into submission and cherry pick the world's wealth as they deem fit, irrespective of international borders and international law.
