Come on, what is the worth of the "free publicity"? Nothing! If I give away for free the only product I have for sale, how am I going to pay my butcher who has no similar illusions? That is the reality!
A while ago a prosperous-looking religious organization was looking for images for a a deluxe wall calendar and they proposed that they would pray for my soul as a form of payment.... I said I preferred cash and this was the end of the story.
