I have just downloaded it for further reflection too.
Thanks Ken.

Peter Leeson, the author of the paper, turned it into a book entitled "The Invisible Hook, The hidden economics of Pirates. You can grab it on Amazon. I stumbled upon it while I was reading and researching Thomas Piketty's "Capital in the 21st Century" last year. Leeson has some interesting takes on why pirates acted the way they did. They weren't crazy or just plain evil, their actions can be easily explained using simple economic models. Good reading.
