And why is it a surprise that media pirates or gangs weren't enough to change their minds, but Nazis are?
Your phrasing implies that if they're willing to kick out Nazis, they should be willing to kick out media pirates. That's bizarre!

Cloudflare: "Its okay if you break the law, but say offensive words that don't break the law and you are outta here."
Hence, my surprise. Criminal acts = ok. Offensive legal speech = not okay.
You don't see why someone might be more opposed to actual literal swastika-carrying roman-saluting Hitler-worshipping Nazis who would be out exterminating inferior races right now if they had more followers, than to a web site that helps you download movies without paying for them?
Criminality isn't the only thing people look at for this stuff.
2017 - when people are comparing illegal downloads to Nazis, but not in a way you'd expect to. (Does this count as Godwin's law?)

Legally, it is when someone decides to sue or prosecute you for assisting a criminal enterprise.
