You have asked a very hard question... It depends on how serious the crime is... I have absolutely no tolerance for child molesters. If my favorite musician was a child molester, I would freak out. I would stop supporting this musician.

But if I found out that my favorite musician didn't pay his/her taxes, I wouldn't be shocked. I would still listen to this musician and I would still attend his/her concerts. (I understand that this is very subjective. This is not an objective science. Who's right and who's wrong? It's very hard to answer that question. I'm just giving you an opinion.)
