Is the Conspiracy Theory Exploiting Kurt's death?

There's a common argument among the Nirvana fans that I come across. The argument is about how the supporters of the conspiracy theory are exploiting the death of Kurt Cobain to make money for themselves. Some fans deny that they are exploiting his death, claiming their main goal is to deliver justice. I decided to write my thoughts about this argument. In my personal opinion if you sincerely have a doubt about his death then you can take action to reopen the case. Having a desire to reopen the case is not exploitation because you are not making money from it. However, if you claim to have evidence that can prove the conspiracy theory and you will only share it if people buy your books or become a paid member of your website/channel then that is an act of exploitation. This is not helping the Cobain Case at all. If you genuinely want the case to reopen then you should present the police of the evidence you acquired. And yes, you can share the evidence in public (if it is permitted) so that you can have witnesses. But if you are luring the fans, especially the ones who are from the younger generation who are new to the conspiracy theory, and telling them that you have some information or evidence that proves the theory but you will only share them to people who pay money to you then you are exploiting the death of Kurt Cobain.

Nowadays you can share information for free in any form that's available - videos, podcasts, blog posts, etc. The only thing to take care of is to make sure the information you are sharing in public is not invading another person's privacy and personal rights. And of course you have to make sure the information is not false. Do your best to give accurate information. In the past, the internet wasn't the way it is now. There were books and documentaries on this case which contain information that people would be interested in. The materials to make the books, CDs, etc. were not free so I can understand why these items were sold with a price. However, times have changed and people can now share information for free. In general sense, people who talk about this case but do not attempt to reopen the case and yet they are making money from the case, are people who are being unethical. They are exploiting the death of a man and it just feels wrong. Again, there's nothing wrong if you have doubts or if you want to discuss about the case and share your thoughts but if you are not serious about reopening the case and make money from this, you are being disrespectful to Kurt Cobain and exploiting his fans, old and new.

Some people alleged the police earned money from this case and are similar to the ones who exploit Cobain's death. The police are different from them. They earn money for their services to the general public. The Cobain Case is not the only case they have done. I don't know why they compare them. 

What actions can be considered as exploiting Cobain's death?

1. Claiming you have evidence or information that can prove the conspiracy theory to be true but will only share it if you get paid.
2. Telling people to get paid membership so that they can access exclusive contents about the case which turns out to be irrelevant to the case itself or contained wrong/false information.
3. Not doing anything to reopen the case yet make money from spreading the theory.

Ultimately, the police will need the information or evidence that can prove the theory. You will have to hand over the evidence or provide the information to the police if you want any progress. And making fans pay money so that they to learn something new about the case is rather low. What if they end up paying you for an information that was either incorrect or had nothing to do with the case itself? Naturally the fans will feel like they have been exploited and will think you are spreading the conspiracy theory just to make money especially when you do nothing to reopen the case. They will find you to be disrespectful to Cobain and his fans, friends and family. 

That is all I have to say on this topic.
