    Oyster pirates in the 19th century would land surrepititiously onto beaches at night and harvest oysters without license. It is from this use that media piracy emerged. Pirated oysters typically meant cheaper oysters at market so the resell and consumer sectors benefitted while the beach owners lost revenue.
