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.

Wasn’t that episode supposed to be ironic? Inside the FBI building, most of the departments were shown to be small and empty, but then it pans to the anti piracy department which had the largest budget, all the agents had rifles and helicopters, and they had to use advanced biometrics just to open their doors. Homer is then put in prison alongside murderers and burglars who considered his crime of piracy to be the worst.
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”.
