record companies and concert promoters are famous for pitching that sort of reasoning when asking artists to sign away all their rights or perform for no pay...now the fans are using the same line, and, coincidentally, the pay is once again zero.
the history of popular music is filled with stories of people who got lots of exposure (hit records and all that) but, due to the bad deals they made, never got any money, died poor, etc. In short, it doesn't follow that all the free publicity one might receive in the course of getting ripped off will be well appreciated.

oh yeah, I'm sure being a Rephlex clone is a real goldmine.
