I agree 100%, you can enjoy the music or body of work of someone who has done (or allegedly done) some heinous things.
I loved the music of the Lostprophets, but after Ian Watkins convictions I would never think of using their lyrics in a professional context.

This is the main point, I think... I wouldn't want to associate my professional imagine or my company to someone with this kind of imagine.
Nothing bad about listening to the song, I guess. I like Michael Jackson stuff, and I still watch old Kevin Spacey movies, but I would not choose either to put on my movie if I was making one, you see?
