What you say is true, obviously getting those releases changed only really benefits people like themselves, and the few in the future who are lucky enough to get in a similar position. But on the off chance that you or I are ever in that position, I'm sure you wouldn't want them to have the right to sell your name to promote products you don't want to promote, for example.

I think the counter argument to that would be that it's not that they can't earn a living playing poker, it's that the WPT's agreements with casinos limit the opportunies for competing televised events - which doesn't really have anything to do with Greg and co. being able to make money from playing poker outside of the WPT.
