The "free downoad" bandwagon seems to be rolling on still  :)

Rock group Marillion are to make their new album available as a free download through file-sharing websites.
But a pop-up box will appear on computer screens when the tracks are first played, encouraging fans to give the band their e-mail address.
Keyboardist Mark Kelly said downloaders would be contacted with offers of gig tickets and other merchandise, to try to make some money back for the band.

But he still expected fans would buy the CD version of Happiness is the Road when it is released on 20 October.
"Up until recently we've felt fairly immune to that because the fans have been really supportive of the band and, I suppose, because of the age demographic, they do tend to prefer CDs to downloads

Its nice to see a group looking long on their fans in this way, after all if you cant hear an artists musical offerings your unlikely to purchase it with your hard earned cash, something most industry bosses have long forgotten.
