Polanski's 'Pirates' a fun movie with a lot of interesting characters. However the movie is difficult to find here I believe due to Polansi's legal problems here in the US.
Another breezy pirate flick I've always enjoyed is Swashbuckler with Robert Shaw.

I'm reading The Hudson: A History by Tom Lewis
There is mention of NYC being a pirate hub but no specific 'plundering'.
It appears that unrestricted trade in contraband and slaves was very common in the area.
It would appear that if there was profit to be made just about everyone turned a blind eye.
A good historical read.
