I still listen to their albums. Doesn't make me a bad person for appreciating the work itself.

Yes but also—maybe give the money to victims instead of the artist's estate.

The art was made by them, funded by them, promoted by them. You can't really separate it cleanly. The whole thing is tainted.

Depends on the art form honestly. Music hits different when you know what the person did.

Nope. Every time I see their work now it just makes me angry.

This is the hardest question. I think you can appreciate the craft without supporting the person—it's like enjoying a building designed by someone terrible.
