And you know what? Pretty much 100% of them never made a cent, many never launched.

Being a partner in something I put a lot of work into and then sit and HOPE that I make a buck for it at some point..... hell no.

And that's IF the person was completely on the level. But in this industry, to just hit up someone you don't know, take their word that they'll cut you in fairly for life because of the couple months of work you did... is just not smart.

I'm not taking sides either which way in this lover's quarrel... just stating my stance from personal experience on the "work for partner" relationship model.
