I don't know how many of you guys are fans of him or anything, but I personally find him honest and hilarious. He may be one of my favorite people in existence, really.

All that aside, he did a really cool thing recently, and this is cut out the middle men in terms of distribution of content he produced. He did so at a really low cost, and without DRM, fully aware of the risks involved in terms of it distributed via piracy.

Now, I can't really take a moral high ground with piracy, because I have incessantly been guilty of it myself, but I went ahead and bought the damn thing because Louis CK is an awesome guy and it was only $5. He talked a little bit about the success of the model on the page for the thing:

As an artist its really heartening to see that sometimes people aren't shitty if something is made available at a low cost because of cutting out distributors and shit like that. I hope other artists take this as a good sign and adopt a similar approach. It could finally revolutionize the way that profits reach the artists themselves, and encourage a sense of willingness to purchase content on the part of interested audiences.

I found it really interesting. Also you guys should think about buying it because really, Louis CK is a funny dude.
