Declaration of Paris outlawed it. It's subject to life imprisonment in the US.

Where are you getting that from? Do you mean "piracy" instead? Because privateering powers are included in the Constitution. And it doesn't make much sense to get life imprisonment for something that the Congress has specifically permitted you to do!

My mistake, if an American serves on a privateer that hurts the US they will be imprisoned. Or if they arm one that does
