Pirates do care about getting caught, their motivations are greed and dead people can't spend money.
Terrorists however, are often ready to die and some prefer that to living.
Have yet to hear about pirates that could care less about getting caught. Getting caught and not caring about getting caught are very different things.
The issue I have with the pirates and/or terrorists theory is that a faction would have claimed responsibility for this incident. There aren't even strong rumors about what terrorist organization could be behind this.

When they don't claim responsibility its usually because they are about to carry out another attack... or this guy is just a lone wolf like the guys from Boston bombing.

Intelligent pirates wouldn't claim responsibility. They don't want there to be clues about where to be found.
However it does seem to be one or both pilots, whom I don't think would be pirates ...... they'd have to leave their communities and get cosmetic surgery to hide.
I think they'd be worried about negative world opinion for them having shot down an unarmed plane with lots of innocents aboard.
But if some country shot them down by mistake they'd be found out sooner or later. It would make more sense for them to come forward now instead of making it worse by making everyone in the world sit and wonder. Then, when it finally did come out, they're really be hated. If they admitted it now, at least there would be a chance of being forgiven for making a mistake.
I do think one of the pilots is the most likely, although I still don't see any huge motive for doing such a thing. Even if his wife and kids had left him (someone said that was the case with the captain) that's not a good enough reason to bring an entire planeload of people down. Everyone said he loved people and was a good person. In a way I still lean towards some sort of pre-planned hijacking but I guess that's not the case. No motive there either.
Anwar Ibrahim is not some religious fringe zealot. He is a moderate lawyer and people who support him are not extremists.
NO. This is not the lunatic fringe you are looking for.

No. Anwar Ibrahim is not some religious zealot with loony followers.
Apparently Ibrahim is a supporter of a more democratic society:
Background checks of passengers on Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 have drawn a blank, but not every country whose nationals were on board has responded to requests for information, police chief Khalid Abu Bakar told a news conference on Sunday.

The motive would be to bury something (or someone) that was on the plane in a deep part of the sea, where it would never be found.
Suicide seems to be the popular motive right now, but I have a hard time believing it. Why continue flying for so long and go to the effort to turn tracking devices off if all it was about was a suicide? You can crash a plane and kill yourself just about anywhere, if that's all you wanted to do.

.
Maybe the motive was to seize something or someone on the plane and it landed at a secured location.
