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.

They even did an early ”anti-piracy” episode with Lisa agonizing over the family going to hell because of free cable.

Unless I'm misremembering, even Always Sunny had an anti piracy episode where the moral of the story is that Hollywood makes shit films because of piracy.

Futurama had the cringy ”Kidnappster” episode too.

That was a super early episode though. Before the Simpsons was really solidified as a show, and before they shifted away from religiosity
