That was a terrible move, from a PR standpoint. It completely destroyed their credibility as a band who cares about social issues, charity, etc. Being Irish has always been a huge part of their identity. People have more or less forgotten about the SOI "Scandal", it'll still come up occasionally. But this issue, people are gonna remember. Every comments section is littered people comments about this.
They should've never done this, and they should've just released SOI the old fashioned way. They'd have a much better reputation if they had.
