Well, it's good to see the hostages are released safe and sound, but it doesn't help the piracy problems. Piracy is becoming a big problem recently because of the economic crisis we are in, which in turn people who are in poor countries turn to piracy to take over ships to take the goods or take hostages for a outrageous amount of money (The most recent one wanted over $2 million in ransom which the companies refuse to pay.)
Now that the Americans Navy have snipped the pirates, now two pirates who were captured are
threatening to kill US and French sailors which is probably what we should be concerned about, although the possibility of it happening is low.
