I consider a casual pirate to have the means to copy things, but not really
understand how to create them in the first place. A not-so-casual pirate
would be the type of person who has a hacker's abilities to wade through
code and hardware, but not the ethical code associated with a true hacker.
My personal opinion is that most pirates today could pretty easily copy a
.bin file, and then take that to a friend who has a burner. Fewer of them
have the equipment to actually make the cartridges. Fewer still have the
equipment and/or knowledge to do a hardware intercept/debug coupled with
eating ML code for breakfast.
