All the romanticized myths and legends aside, especially the good fiction and movies, but the reality of pirates should be quite simple, yet society seems to have forgotten that pirates need to be fought, caught, or slain, not necessarily in that order.
Is it that hard of a concept? Has the modern world grown that soft that the idea of fighting someone who us not fighting under a nation's flag doesn't occur to them? If that's so, you need a reminder about the war on terror, as there are no flags there, either.
The pirates are so brazen, now, that they don't even hide or aim for small targets, so there is no excuse about them being in hiding. While it is understandable to be concerned about the hostages, that concern should be under a reasonable amount, not cripplingly so. If you pay them off, if you let them go, then they see zero reason to not continue what they're doing.
Find them. Sink them. Sheesh.
