UK band Franz Ferdinand are one in the latest string of bands to have new tracks leaked onto the Internet.
Recent victims have included Eminem and U2, resulting in the shift of album release dates and the notion that downloading harms sales.

And within the past decade things have started to change even on this front and even on the more conservative arenas such as Bukowskis - the top Nordic auction house.
