Looters?

These are poor people, who are driven to desperate measures due to the economy that has been destroyed by Bush and his oil rich capitalist pigs..

So artifacts buried on the sea floor now and forever where nobody will ever see them are archeological treasures, but when they are brought up by private individuals where they can be seen, enjoyed, and studied they are stolen loot.
