Robert Farley at the University of Kentucky and Daniel Drezner at Tufts discuss piracy:
The part most relevant to our project is at around 23:00 when they confront whether the "giggle factor" of piracy undermines our response to it. Farley posits that recent events may strip away the romanticization of pirates, and Drezner considers whether "one Hollywood trope might be replaced with another." Given the upcoming Spike TV show, this seems likely, and Farley and Drezner are not the first to make the Hollywood connection.
