There are evil elves. Eol and Maeglin proved themselves to be evil by their actions, as did Feanor and his sons, particularly Celegorm and Curufin. Maedhros and Maglor were the best of that lot, but even they had blood on their hands.
True, but a lot of things they did weren't directly involved with the Silmarils. I can't see how burning the ships at Losgar can be justified. And while the Oath would make Celegorm and Curufin want to hinder Beren's quest, they also usurped Nargothrond and treated Luthien badly. Celegorm even wanted to force her into marriage.
@eldariontkd That's okay, since I've already seen alot of comments on YouTube complaining about the ships, and I read Christopher's huge explaination about the "true" story of Beren and Luthien. (which is the true one again?) :P I actually found a PDF that is The Lay of Lethian, full with no comments aside from a couple of footnotes by beloved Mr. Bilbo. :)
I'll just have to read the books really fast then. :)
Orcs are tortured Elves corrupted to do Morgoth's and Sauron's dirty work as slaves. So yes, there are evil Elves, but not in the way you think.

Feanor and his sons were bound by their oath

I haven't finished it!
Sorry, I stop it with the spoilers.
