Now, no matter what the mullah teaches there is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft. When you kill a man, you steal a life… you steal his wife’s right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone’s right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness… there is no act more wretched than stealing.

–The Kite Runner

Right or wrong I am able to separate the art from the artist.

I’m a big fan of this when the artist isn’t currently engaged in harmful activity. I have no problem rereading the Harry Potter books I already paid for, but I can’t buy any of the new media when she is so actively using her resources in what I see as a negative manner.

This rule applies to me, based on my values. I’m not saying other people are bad for continuing to support the HP universe, just adding my two cents on the idea of death of the author.
