Most cerrrtainly not!
A privateer, for example, a certain Sir Francis Drake, is often
a very honorable person.

A privateer basically outfits his own warship (with money from
respectable businessmen, who back him) and gets paid by taking
enemy ships as prises. A privateer is chartered by a government.
A pirate gone leggit, if you squint a bit.

A spammer, matey, now, that's the bastard master of a slave ship
who kills and tortures 'cargo' and crew for sport. Arrr.

That was then, this is now. All good pirates know from the days
when they were but wee scouts that it's wise to be prepared.
Today's pirates know that when they're attacking and trying to board
treasure laden Spanish frigates that their boarding parties will
have to fend off blazing muskets and Canons. And after being
temporarily blinded by their flashes and preflashes they'll still
have to be able to advance. That's when they flips up them patches
matey, or they pays a visit to Davy Jones. Arrrr.
