lol, all fluff, what a surprise. It doesn't sound like you even watched the movie but just want to spout out about how pointless your life is. Calling me an idiot only highlights your ineptitude. This movie had a mothership, and this forum is about the movie. Maybe it's normal for you to forget such things but it's not normal for humanity in general.
Almost makes me envious to know what it's like to be so airheaded. But then I see that semen hat and I'm all good.
Even if we imagine a universe in which you are not completely inept, the mothership is irrelevant. He didn't follow international warnings and is being sued for that by a majority of the crew. In other words, he f/cked up. Even worse than your f'ups spewing nonsensical bs on an internet forum. -

It seems the OP went over your head. Philips didn't follow official warnings and not by a little bit. So he is getting sued up the wazoo by half the crew.
If he had followed it, then this thread wouldn't exist. That's all there is to it.

His decision to stick with protocol probably saved lives. They were in a dangerous sector of the ocean and they would have likely run into more viscous pirates.
Huh? He didn't stick to protocol, that is the OPs point and that is why the company got sued. And no there are not even more dangerous pirates further out, that is why the protocols says to go there.
What does "more dangerous" pirates even mean? How exactly would they be more dangerous? -

No. Don't blame the victim of a crime for the crime. Blame the criminal. Further, as pointed out in the film, different pirates were operating in different parts of the ocean. If the ship changed course, there is a decent chance that they would have run into different pirates. Hindsight is always 20-20, and Monday morning quarterbacking always takes place after the play is over.

One does not exclude the other. If your negligence enables a crime that hurts you and other people, you will be blamed and accused as well.

Yeah a decent but SMALLER chance, hence the lawsuit.

Truisms much? The protocol exists to make hindsight unnecessary.
