The moral of the episode was seriously ”it's wrong to lie to get lots of money from an evil rich guy”? They should've taken Burns to the cleaners, Marge was totally the villain of the episode with her whining about how wrong it was to lie.

I'm kinda wondering if the shows have to layer it in irony, because the studios won't allow them to be explicitly pro-piracy? The closest thing to pro-piracy in a mainstream TV show I can think of is jokes about Lars Ulrich, along the lines of "Because of piracy, he can only afford a gold-plated swimming pool without diamonds all over it".
