It is definately a two-sided coin.
The more promotional material you make available the more use its going to get. The more legitimate use it gets the more copyright abuse you're going to see. At that point you run into the Digital Millenium Copyright Act ( DMCA ) which clearly states that if you're not the 'original producer' or 'legal consul for the origninal producer' you have no legitimate right to make a copyright abuse complaint.

That is according to a verbatum response that I received from an ISP company about 6 months ago when some flamming idiot sent my tgp site a copy of my licensed material, with my site stamps, using it to promote a Score Group site.

Of course the staff at Score quickly terminated that affiliate account but I was not aware up to that point that I could not make a copyright complaint for my 'licensed content'. That pretty much blew my bubble.

Back to the promotional material, if you can afford to throw content out there like Ernesto ( Nasty Dollars ) does then you should do it. Even though his content gets abused every single day it generates enough traffic for him to compensate for any webmaster abuses.
