Privacy shouldn't be an issue in of itself - in a free society it'll be something you have to pay extra for. And I'm sure there'll still be spammers looking for ways to send you more targeted spam, and so on. The government violates every natural right you have, but there's no such thing as a "right to privacy". (I know that's not what this thread is about exactly, but this was worth repeating nonetheless.)
And those weren't pirates, they were the Somalian IRS - identical to the US's version, only smaller.
