That is formal definition of privateer you just copy paste from google while also ignoring the 2nd part which is "a commander or crew member of a privateer, often regarded as a pirate." and the fact that by defition he's commisioned to attack enemy merchant ship means that he's engaging in piracy. It did not explain the split system between the backer and the individual, does  not explain the job entails and covered nothing bout why privateers are not pirate.

I don't need to do research because I already did mine and my conclusion is that privateer is a type of pirate, Drake in particular  are renowned as pirate to the spaniard. If you do quick googling then 10/10 will tell you that drake is pirate and Privateer is someone who engage in Piracy. You're the only one who said otherwise which is why I ask you to explain.

And I guess your brain really is damned because you can't even read your own writing, do kindly read your own original post will you mr. Francis-Drake-are-not-pirate. I'm not fucking esper so all i did is responding to the premise, if you want to argue bout X then write X as a premise, even retard knows that.
