I offer my entire catalog for free download (http://maltedmedia.com/scores/) in PDF and ETF. Frog Peak Music distributes the printed versions. The number of downloads is very large -- several hundred per week. Potential performers can audition them in MP3 format (up until a few weeks ago, they were mostly RealAudio). I get performances (and royalties), and Frog Peak picks up sales of printed scores. It isn't lucrative, but it's more lucrative than when all the nicely duplicated scores sat sullenly in cardboard boxes! Unlike many other composers, the demand for the kind of thing I do isn't large enough to worry about theft. Many people fill in the info forms, though not yet a sizeable fraction.
