ACCEPTED ANSWER
Score 6
Fame is any kind of fame. Osama bin Laden and Steve Carell are both famous. Only bin Laden is infamous.
ANSWER 2
Score 1
Well known for some bad quality or deed.
Whereas famous is just "well known". So everyone who has infamy has fame, but not everyone who has fame has infamy.
