- Keep. This is a calque, 海賊 by itself does not mean "(one who makes or consumes) unauthorized duplication of a protected work". Nardog (talk) 01:35, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
- I think I lean towards Nardog on this one. Although English pirate could mean the consumer of such content, I don't think I've run across Japanese 海賊 (kaizoku) used in that way.
- @Shinji, do you have any knowledge you could share? ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 00:01, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
- Keep. As Nardog clearly said, 海賊 (kaizoku) doesn’t mean a pirated version or pirating. It is always 海賊版 (kaizokuban). I suppose most Japanese speakers simply don’t know why it is called so. — TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 00:55, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
