Ummm. Can't be done because piracy still exists in the world. It's still a profession in Southeast Asia. Then there's the problem that most pirates don't make a conscious effort to be a pirate. It just sort of happens and that's how the world remembers them. Then there's the problem of when one country thinks of someone as a pirate but another country doesn't.

Nobody. Probably the most successful pirates were the ones who remained anonymous. Also, many were considered privateers, not pirates (pirates with a license from the state to plunder other countries' ships, and give their country a cut). Many used that as a ruse to do actually pirate on their own, and not pay the state.

Blackbeard
Anne Bonny
Henry Morgan
Mary Read
William Kidd
Bartholomew Roberts
Francis Drake
Walter Ralegh (these two were privateers of Queen Elizabeth 1)

You need to be more specific. What time period? Pirates were (and still are) around since antiquity/

Check the Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirates

Another place to check is: http://www.piratesinfo.com/
