But that's like anything. When a musician dies, their albums always go straight into the charts again.

I agree with magoo here. Many people who die become popular for a period, there is nothing wrong with that. Indeed, when well known actors die, broadcasters often show a series if their films as a tribute. Porn is different. Certainly it is unacceptable to market a film because someone became hiv+ making it. There are degrees. It would be unacceptable to show a repeat of a boxing match where one boxer was killed, but motor sports are different.

Why are motorsport deaths different to boxing deaths?

I think because the crowd go for the crashes not who comes first, where as boxing is about winning, also if a boxer dies it is at someones hands where as motorsport it tends to be driver or machine error not normally another drivers fault.
