I was initially against it, but your argument won me out. Here is where it gets interesting. IMHO your most compelling point is the promotional potential of having the song available for download. I think that is far better than the profit argument. I wonder what the promotional budget is for a Star Trek movie. My guess it would be in the tens of millions. So why either send people to iTunes or similar to download the song for .99 or set up customer service, tech support, etc. to sell it yourself for .99? Instead you could offer it for free at your website. Promote the movie and have hundreds of thousands of downloads instead of thousands of paid downloads? It seems if you are going to use the song to promote the film, the few dollars in profit you may earn would be better spent as an advertising cost.

Free download would be great, and as you say, would still get you some marketing edge. I think you could also put it out on iTunes and charge a buck, but, free also works. Not allowing it to go out at all makes no sense for anyone.
March 24, 200917 yr I just discovered Azerus today. Way faster than Bitcomet or Flashget. Works like a charm. Now I just need to get invited to some private trackers.
