The benefit is that the event handler will also be added to new matching elements when those elements are created. This saves you from having to manually add the event handler every time you create a new element (matching a previously used selector) that needs it.

Added in jQuery 1.3: Binds a handler to an event (like click) for all current - and future - matched element.

From http://docs.jquery.com/Events/live#typefn, emphasis mine.
