He did not wear an eyepatch or kill people, he did sail the high seas on occasion, he recorded both TV and made vhs and cassette tape copies, I don't think he ever sold these copies.
Though I'd like to propose that it's actually about exploring prohibited alternatives in spite of a failing authority, which is why the "of the caribbean" era pirates were democracy enthusiasts.

Was he a pirate? Or did he just record off TV?

I'll let you decide if he was a pirate.
Recording off the TV isn't pirating. Why do you think they were allowed to sell blank tapes and later hard drive recorders?
If he's selling copies then maybe. But for personal consumption that's legal.
The term pirate is already expansive enough. I don't think we need to expand it into legal activities.
No eye patch, peg leg or parrot, not a pirate.
Perhaps, perhaps.
