The other prisoners on the bus also escape Scot free, at least as far as the episode is concerned.

I watched the episode, and I don't recall Lisa saying anything to this effect to her mother, or Marge reacting to it. At best, Lisa said that Homer wasn't pirating for himself, and that was when the family didn't know Marge unwittingly tipped off the FBI.

* LawfulStupid: Marge is against Homer pirating videos because it's a crime, which is understandable. It takes the FBI barging into her home, arresting Homer, being dragged into living in an embassy Julian Assange-style, having Homer continuously (and obliviously) flinging guilt at her ''and'' finding out that the only other member of the family as law-abiding as she is (Lisa) thinking that what she did was stupid for her to finally accept that sending that letter so she would feel with a clean conscience was not one of her brightest moments.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Lisa has come a long way since Season 2's "Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment," in which she opposed Homer's illegal cable hookup out of a fear that it technically constituted stealing regardless of Homer's rationalization. (In that case, of course, her fear was based on Christian principles and her fear of eternal consequences, which no longer apply now that she's a Buddhist.) This episode shows her to be more ambivalent on the issue of piracy, still regarding it as stealing but ultimately seeing it as a matter of EvilVsEvil, since the studios that make the films are, to her mind, also thieves. It's Marge who opposes piracy in this episode (after having come around to Lisa's perspective in "Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment").
