Slippery Sloap

Well.. we all know artists aint perfect don't we.. So surely boycotting playing music by one of them because of their actions is a slippery slope. When does it stop? So many criminal rappers and some convicted murders, but there music is OK?
I hate double standards and this is a fat one.
Some music even promotes violence and it's still allowed.

I agree. I have always argued in favour of the concept of seperating the artist from the art. If you start judging artistic output by the behavour of the artist, as you say, where does it stop? Once you have condemned all the abusers, do you turn to the tax frauds, the motorway speeders, the non-charity donors? The best way to avoid such a slippery slope is not to...

Thanks, that's really helpful, and you are correct - it is very simple to understand. Let's walk through it:
15:15 I asked whether MJ had bought the Beatles' catalogue. I thought Inremembered reading it somewhere.
15:54 You questioned it, but I was busy on Google and didn't notice.
16:18 I posted the link that confirmed MJ had, in fact, bought the rights, but my search had also shown that McCartney had bought them back.
16:20 I posted the link to confirm the update.
21:00 You asked what my 16:18 post was about, although I thought it was fairly simple to understand.
23:32 I reminded you that you had asked me a question
23:41 You seem to suggest it was me that was missing something.
00:22 You posted a link to confirm what I couldn't work out for myself at 16:20, for which I am very grateful. I had been trying in vain to figure out what it meant. Thankfully it only took you eight hours to agree with me, or I could have been up all night worrying.
I could suggest that my 16:18 and 16:20 posts were intended to be in one comment if I hadn't pressed the wrong button, but nobody would seriously believe I could be that stupid, would they? Fancy, an adult making a textbook error like that!

In the case of Michael Jackson though, doesn't his estate own the Beatles' catalogue?
My statement was
Thankfully he or his estate does not own the Beatles songs.

> I might say 'rape is the most heinous of crimes' that doesn't mean to say that I think rape is the number one most horrific crime in a list of horrific crimes
Heinous means "utterly odious or wicked" and if something is the most heinous then it is the most odious or wicked; there may be other crimes equally heinous, but none more so.
So, in your example, rape would be number one or at least first equal.
