Or does the principle apply only to writers? And if so, why?

I think the intent in the case of this thread is to not support the artists in question by not buying (reading) their works.
I the case of Wagner and Gesualdo, both artists are long dead, and they do not benefit from sales of their respective pieces.
As for Zimmer-Bradley, while she is dead, the proceeds go not to her children (vicitms of abuse), but to her Secretary/Partner who may not aided but certainly seems to have abetted.
