Now there's a thinking idea.

You might even keep the pirates away when your product goes commercial by
having them like you so much that they "take care of you".

However, I think the "hardcore" pirates will see right through that. It'll
be "Hey, nothing personal, BUT I'm a pirate. It's what I do ya know?" :)
