The quickest way to fix the issue of piracy should be obvious: Invade Canada.
In the northern most regions of the Canadian wilderness lie hordes of lost and ancient gold for the wolrd to claim with which a space station could be built where men, woman, and animals are born to live and die producing free media for the world. The world powers would unify their forces to conquer the north which would soon fall, but free media would at last be realized.
Though if the ancient shaman of the Ozarks speaks the truth, then when the forces did break the northern borders, the ancient king of the hollow mountain would awaken from his millinia long slumber. The hollow mountain would explode and he would fly forth into the sky above and command his enemies with a booming voice to leave his kingdom! When the forces of the world would refuse, the king would let out a mighty shout and summon the celestial mounties from the realm beyond the sky! They would descend toward their enemies, riding upon all manner of magestic creatures not of this world to strike fear in those greedfull invaders. With a second shout toward the earth, Ten Thousand lumberjacks would break free from their bonds! No more could chains bind them nor weapons harm them, and with Axes in hand they would tear down the invaders alongside their celestial commrades all while the king laughs in the sky above. When finally the nations of the world in their fear would turn their fire lances of great destruction toward the northern lands, the king would only laugh and destroy the foul things with rays of fire from his blazing eyes! Only then, furious at the state of the world, would the king summon the Windigo from their world between the worlds to savage the other lands. He would free Ogopogo from her land locked prison and allow her to return to the sea where she would muster her sea beast forces to reclaim her ancient kingdom; the oceans of the world! With the nations of the world conquered, the king would return to his slumber and leave the five, truest Canadians to rule the world, thus ushering in the last, great age of peace, prosperity, and free media.
This would also be the age that would see the reincarnations of Shakespeare, Da Vinci, Ishinomori, and The Duke. Unfortunately it would also be the age of rural city states, and gladitorial hockey matches. ...Or so the shaman of the Ozarks tells me...
