When fish are migratory, and everybody knows it, when you're trawling just outside national waters, you're stealing someone else's fish. Trying to get technical is being too cute.
The EEZ isn't national waters. There is zero national rights other than for fish and minerals.
And if you're taking some else's fish, it's fish piracy. The laws were changed to prevent the practice because people said "hey, they are stealing our fish." I note how your bot response misses the context of the collapse of the fisheries in the North Atlantic and how they never recovered because of all the fish theft.

national waters are defined, and you're either fishing in them or not
