I don't know, I was raised in a different environment and I was given a code of conduct. So its impossible for me and you to put ourselves into their shoes.
However from the other side of the equation, the side that's getting their livelyhoods threatened and are getting kidnapped or getting guns stuck in their faces, these pirates have become a very real threat. If you keep paying their demands then you encourage more and more and more of them, so that's not a solution.
So you start finding ways to make it a unpopular solution.
