Should we discard achievements made by unlikable people?

RE: Should we discard achievements made by unlikable people?
Yeah, my current feeling is that there is a statute of limitations-- maybe the natural lifespan of the victims.

I probably wouldn't want to purchase a Cosby video, even though I think his videos are very funny, because he might get some benefit from it. But if I found out that Charlie Chaplin was a rapist, I'd be more likely to say, "Well. . . those were different times I suppose, and this is mainly a historical interest."

I have to say that I'm deliberately trying NOT to find out what movies some of these Hollywood guys were involved in, because I'm worried that knowledge would lessen my enjoyment of some truly enjoyable movies. I suppose that's pretty selfish. But movies are a big part of our lives, right?
