You referring to the pirates themselves?

Or to the possibility of retaliation, by the pirates, upon innocent civilians?

I'm referring to their victims, who could expect rougher treatment if the level of violence is increased.

Piracy won't end because the supply of potential pirates has dried up, it will end because the return on investment drops to the point where no one will put up the money for a mother ship.
