#1 nobody cares too much because they refuse to solve the piracy problem on land where it is easy to fix.

nobody cares about seafarers... they are all from 3rd world cesspits these days where labour is cheap.

But people will care when - and the day will come - when a cruise ship with rich old westerners is hijacked. 3000 pensioners from the UK, US, Germany, Belgium etc... then the world will go nuts

#2 Maybe that's exactly why the cruse ships are NOT attacked, also I understand many have skeet shooting off the afterdeck and these Pirates are cowards.
