The crime Roger is jolly about? (6)
I believe the answer is:
piracy
'the crime' is the definition.
(piracy is a kind of crime)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for piracy that I've seen before include "Maritime or commercial robbery" , "Illegal copying" , "Robbery at sea or of copyright" , "Act of plagiarism" , "Crime" .)
