Getting Pirated by a freelancer

[The Savage]

He talked about Pirate ID hiring Freelancer ID. In which case, the rule is clear as it gets.

A generic Pirate ID'd ship cannot hire a Freelancer ID'd ship to engage in piracy, nor engage in a "bounty" contract.

1. Pirate ID player hires Freelancer ID player as an escort.
2. Pirate meets trader; Freelancer just sits there and observes.
3. Trader denies demand and tries to fly away.
4. Pirate starts to fire at the trader; Freelancer still sits and observes.
5. Freelancer notices that trader starts firing away at his employer.
6. In effect, Freelancer joins fight against trader, defending pirate.

I do hope you get my point here? Freelancer isn't helping in piracy. He is merely defending the pirate. With upper rule being present, how one's going to say if Freelancer broke his ID or not?

We always could Pirate ID unable to hire Freelancers, but that would be overly punishing and would ditch already nerfed ID into nothingness. We always could try that, but then remove restrictions about House Piracy.
