There was a time when bands could actually make a living from selling their music. But that time is long gone. ______

Lots of young people would laugh at the idea of paying for music. “Music is free,” they say, “and you get it from the Internet.” The illegal downloading (非法下载) of music is widespread. ______

But they need to be more creative now. Scottish rock band Franz Ferdinand sells their own branded bags, books and even underwear. You can buy lamps, cups, towels, mobile phones and even biscuits from other bands!
