Yes: Performing, DJing, Commercials, Licensing, Merchandise (If only Aphex
twin would've sold t-shirts like the  Come to Daddy Tee i won!  And could
you imagine the Opportunity for "windowlicker" tees/posters?  And better
yet, can you imagine the confusion caused to the parents and friends of
students who would wear "windowlicker" tees? I would have jumped at that
chance in high school. Whoops: I digress. Look at how well the
"windowlicker" calendar sold. I doubt there was ever before a market for
"import calendars.").  

Eventually, free digital music could be a way of advertising for an
artist's services (production), songs (like for soundtracks & commercials),
live performances, CDs and records (i still like holding physical objects
with actual artwork), and most of all, T-Shirts and Posters.

And of course, that all works the other way too (merch, performances, etc
advertise the actual music), all this does is eliminate the money made on
one side of the equation.
