Fuck Yeah, Louis C.K.

Another thing that is going to have to happen is the cutting out of middle men. A lot of entertainers have enough of a following that they don’t need to give 90% of the revenue to old media. A perfect example is comedian Louis C.K.’s latest stand up special that he sold for $5 on the Internet for download … He’s grossed well over $1 million doing so … Sure, plenty of people pirated it, but as I said, a lot of those people wouldn’t have paid either way. What Louis C.K. did do is made it attractive and easy for people who want to pay.
