Back in the day I would only hear about pirates if I being read a story or visiting Disneyland. Now, it seems like pirates and their ransom stories are in the news everyday. According to TIME, this year, over 80 ships have been attacked by Somali pirates. They have, by one estimate, collected somewhere in the range $18 million to $30 million in ransom.
