Hah hah, I've got a great counter strike here: As local bands usually 
can pay for hosting, but not development, I've done 8 sites for "free" 
for friend's bands ...

... and the _only_ one who gave me >nothing< was the _only_ girl band. 
At the very least, everybody else has brought over beer or ordered a 
pizza while working on it. And get this: the one that didn't pay me? 
The site was up for about two days before she decided to do it over 
herself. So I didn't even get the satisfaction of having people look at 
my work.
