1. If a criminal makes good art, their talent is in now way lessened. The art-piece should be appreciated nonetheless (as in the case of Chinatown, The Triumph of the Will, Annie Hall, Last Tango in Paris and Bajrangi Bhaijaan).
2. The piece of art must not earn benefits for the artist, a criminal, unless they have served their punishment in full. Go ahead and download Annie Hall illegally if you are convinced by the allegation leveled against its creator. Don't watch Bajrangi Bhaijaan in theaters if you are convinced of its lead actor's guilt. Watch Chinatown on fmovies.
3. The greatness of the work of art should not lessen the punishment meted out to the artist, a criminal.
In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger, "I think that (Polanski) is a very respected person and I am a big admirer of his work. But, nevertheless, I think he should be treated like everyone else."
