Fred, I understand what you're saying, but I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree with ya.
We weren't there in any of these people's (B&G & Vendors) shoes and we can only speculate and infer what may or may not have happened.
Maybe part of the agreement with the B&G was that they didn't advertise the names of the the DJ and Photographer? It's possible. Again we don't know because we are not privy to their agreements that they made with each other.
Some markets are tougher to break into without "references" and that's what these vendors needed to jump-start their businesses.
I know of at least one photographer in this area that has done High School Senior photos for free, so they could add to their portfolio and gain references for that particular. Would we? Probably, if the situation was right and we wanted to.
Remember that no one forced either vendor to do what the B&G wanted.
Personally, I rather doubt that this is going to be a major issue for any of us. I mean how many people even watch GMA? There are always people that will be looking for deals and I doubt that this is going to start an avalanche of potential clients asking for freebies.
