Difference between Modern Piracy and Traditional Piracy

Piracy is not such a bad word as pirates. It just means looking out for some luck on sea. But pirates are the people who destroy luck of others. Piracy has been a severe threat for businessmen in almost all the business oriented regions. This piracy has first appeared into our history in around 13th century BC. From then on it has been inspiring for many people who liked to earn easy money.

Ancient pirates were very cruel. They used to destroy ships after looting them and killed all the people with it. Julius Caesar must be lucky that pirates just kidnapped him for ransom. Of course he killed those pirates as soon as he was released. When I am talking of ancient pirates, I remember two words. One is Vikings, and the other is pirates of the Caribbean.

Piracy still exists today, though faded significantly. These days’ pirates have high technology weapons and thus cause more damage. Indonesia is said to be the world’s most dangerous piracy region.

There are pirates more dangerous than sea pirates. They are called as Movie pirates. Movie piracy is increasing year by year, causing severe losses to the movie industries world wide.

No Room For Foreigners In Some Hotels: Very Bad News

According to a government survey released Thursday, October 11, 2008, Most Japanese inns and hotels that didn’t have foreign guests last year don’t want any in the future. The government survey was done by mail earlier this year, and 7,068 establishments responded.

While the majority of such establishments do accept foreigners, the survey showed the country’s more traditional inns are not as hospitable, even as the government mounts a major campaign to draw more tourists from abroad.

The survey carried out by the Ministry of Internal Affairs shows that 72 percent of establishments that didn’t have foreign customers in the past year don’t want any, and the majorities are ryokans and hotels with fewer than 30 rooms. Such businesses said they are unable to support foreign languages and that their facilities are not suited to foreigners.

While more than 60 percent of the country’s inns and hotels hosted foreign guests last year, the results indicate it may be hard to expand this number. Tokyo spends about $35 million per year on its "Visit Japan Campaign," which aims to draw 10 million foreigners to the country for trips and business in the year 2010, up from 8.35 million last year.

Campaign spokesman Ryo Ito said in general Japanese inns have been accepting of foreigners, noting that some now take foreign currencies and have staff that can speak multiple languages. He said the dire state of the global economy was more of a concern.
