While the term "Privateer" was first documented in the 17th century, officially sanctioned Pirates have been around for centuries. Privateering allows a Pirate to become an agent of the government, to become a "legitimate Pirate," if you will. In this way, it allows the Pirate to attack the enemies of the government he's sided with. In the past, some Privateers have been so successful in their raids that they actually changed British naval strategies.
Soon, you will be able to decide if you want to join the ranks of such illustrious Privateers as Sir Francis Drake and Sir Henry Morgan.
A storm brews in the Caribbean between the Frenchman Pierre le Porc and the Spaniard Garcia de Avaracia - it'll be your turn to profit from the chaos, much like your Pirate forefathers have, the question remains: Which side will you fight for?
