2005 saw an explosion of new artists (Lily Allen, Gnarls Barkley, Kate Nash) using the Internet to promote and distribute their music.
By giving their music away for free, they created a 'viral marketing' effect, creating a huge fan base for little cost.
When you have a large fan base, you can earn money from gigs and merchandise (CDS, T-shirts, etc).
