Your infamy will indeed not increase as long as you have the crystal in your inventory. Any infamy you gain after you have picked up the crystal, is stored within; and should you decide to drop the crystal, all that stored infamy will added to your character.
As for committing crime: crime itself is handled by different script(s), so if you attack a city guard or merchant, your bounty will go up -and officers of the law will try to arrest you.
