You forget corporations like Blackwater. And if a for example Neckermann buys Blackwater, they would secure Neckermann tourists.
But Disco is not the real world. Do I have to point out all differences between them? Maybe just a few:
RL-Pirates do not have anything like a battleship, cruiser, gunboat or at least bomber.
RL-Pirates do not face well-armed transportsners.
RL-Pirates do not sell passengers into slavery (as i mentioned earlier).
RL-Pirates do not attack tourist liners.
RL-Pirates do not have a market for slaves.
RL-pirates can not expect to get away with this (attacking a liner and enslave the passengers).
In puncto pirates is Discovery a bit like the world in the 1400-1700s. Cause there were so many pirates out there, almost all ships (even small traders) have some arms aboard. And large corporations (like the west- and east-indian trading company) had their own ships fighting off pirates and securing the trade routes.
So I quote myself:
