The idea is that you can simultaneously be protected by the laws of nation-states that you like (protection from pirates), and are free to break the laws of nation-states that you don't like (taxes, drug laws, etc.)

It's an example of Libertarian paradise syndrome; where you want all the comforts of modern civilization with none of the obligations.

I think the Anarcho-Capitalist paradise you're talking about would involve personal contracts with "security" companies to keep the pirates away - although it has never been explained to me what keeps the security company from becoming the pirates.

The Libertarian version involves paying for a military, I think.
