If you have the talent then you will succeed regardless.

I used to live in a variety of punk rock group houses. There were times I would GIVE a friend a pack of ramen noodles. There is nothing wrong with giving someone something freely, whether or not the giver has anything such as exposure to gain or whether they just want to do it.
There were times however when a certain housemate would STEAL a pack of ramen and eat it without asking, hoping not to be found out. They generally had to find a new place to live. Just because GIFTS sometimes occur does not make THEFTS okay.
Do you have any idea how many talented bands fail to succeed every year? The Grateful Dead are anomalous.
