Standardizing wording would make sense. As long as "case law" on some of the wordings won't conflict with the intent of the standardization, it would likely be a good idea for simplicity's sake.
I disagree with fourth, due to the fact new players may not comprehend what is piracy as activity, seeing that there's part of the players who think that "smuggling" is an unlawful action. There is a risk that some new player may think that it gives him full right to destroy player ships and take their cargo shortly after.
Cause this is how piracy was done in original Freelancer.
