And you get the hilarious (if not sad) situations often, where the exact same actions is wrong if committed by one group, and right if done by some other group.
Think everything they do is right? Hell no.
And every once in a while you need to check if your list of allies should change.

No, the hilarious part is that the "educated liberal bubble" will do exactly that thing, and then wonder why everyone else is seeing them as crazies; because they'd rather side with bad actors on their side purely because other side is attacking them, no matter the reason.
And of course, not only them. It's natural human herd behavior. And it leads to absolutely terrible end results
The crime is the crime. No matter the leaning of the criminal
"It is valid to love my mom, even when she makes me clean my room. This is the thing liberals will never understand."
Don't you have some "cathedral" you gotta go neckbeard on about somewhere else? Perhaps a divorce court hearing?
In reality, this would have made their innocent customers pay for the crimes of their guilty customers and made both Sony, and in the long run, Cox richer, because once paying an extra $5/month becomes normalized, then there's no way they're going to go back down in price just because the fine is paid off, any more than the government will ever stop charging tolls on a toll bridge that was paid for by tolls no matter how many times the cost of the toll bridge is paid off.
I think the point is that they don't like Sony music because they are so often on the wrong side, this time included.
