Does committing a crime at sea make you a pirate?

A number of criminal acts are covered under the federal definition of piracy. What makes them piracy, rather than the crime of theft or murder, is the fact that the crime took place on the "high seas." That is, the crime occurred outside of territorial waters where no particular country has jurisdiction.
