Well that may be so, or may not be. I've seen people claim that it's only works that are bestsellers that are likely to sell less, because remember if you're not a big hit and people pass along copies what they're doing is getting you more fans. If you're not a bestseller then what you mainly want commercially is exposure, and this is a way you'll get more exposure, and without having to pay for it either, and without having to give control to a company that would take most of the profits anyway.
