I do not believe that piracy has ever died down. I am sure that it is good money, if you can pull it off. I believe that the reason most people don't know about piracy these days is not only because there are more boats moving around (and subsequently less piracy acts per boat trip...thing...), but also because the antics of the latest evictee on Big Brother are far more important to showcase on the news than any sort of piracy...
