Not if they're just mods, I think.
In the realm of "just having fun", there is no legalese involved.
There is a lot of wisdom in especially that first Pirates of the Caribbean film.
And when I say a lot, I mean A LOT!
That whole film gets only better once you realise that Jack Sparrow in the film itself is basically "
A Pirate Who Does Nothing".
Throughout the film, I see a character who works very hard at keeping up the appearance of being an untrustworthy PIRATE;
while at the same time actively trying to negotiate win-win situations for everyone involved.
(And generally failing, because nobody trusts him.)
Did Jack actually CAUSE HARM during the film? None, that I can remember.
All the bad things he did, they're merely hearsay.
And one of the most famed things he did was "sacking Nassau WITHOUT even firing a shot".
He was just branded a pirate once in the past, for reasons unknown, and that's enough to condemn him.
It's really too bad the scene was deleted from At World's End, but turns out the reason IS known:
This leads me to conclude Jack was
always a genuine good, kind and compassionate man.
But he lives in an unkind compassion-less world. And as such, he got himself branded a pirate.
As one does...
That reminds me of this quote by Captain Flint from Black Sails:
"When the king brands us pirates, he doesn't mean to make us adversaries. He doesn't mean to make us criminals. He means to make us monsters."
