Seems like 'unlicensed LFL' would be better than 'pirate'. The latter implying something a bit more sinister. Unlicensed ones still serve the same purpose and are run by volunteers.

I suspect the OP was joking…

No I wasn’t joking, what else would you call my particular lfl? I built my own, stole the name and host it local so that’s kind of where I was going with legitimizing lfls that aren’t in the proper online db. I just felt guilty reading that this morning like whelp, I kind of jacked their idea and gave no accreditation, and I called it a “Little Free Library” to boot. I’m intrigued by lfp now and it seems like keeping those two separated or well defined keeps the mission more clear and focused. Always loving this place, HN is the last corner we can even talk about these things, and I’m blown away so many people in our city are really trying to what we can to improve each other. Cheers!

A library call?

'unregistered lfl' it has the spirit and purpose of an lfl, but just isn't registered.
Nothing against the LFL organization, we set up an LFL for our neighborhood and did register it. They even sent us a bumper sticker. But there are also lots of unregistered ones around town as well, free exchange of books is the point so it all good.
