Pretty cool. Instead of having a limited audience with a special on Showtime or HBO he used his own money to produce it and is selling the show for $5, drm-free, on his website. Anyway, just passing it on since I know there are plenty of his fans on here.

I'm not a huge fan of the guy but I went ahead and bought the show anyway. I like what he is doing by offering his content for an extreme discount through himself any no one else.

Made $200,000 in four days? Pretty smart move.

Also the special was hilarious.

I'm buying it because Louis CK is fucking hilarious, and I like how he is sticking it to the big companies.

Hope it lives up to my expectations, but for $5 why not.

Louis CK is pretty awesome. He did a IAMA on Reddit since so much traffic was driven to this thing from there. His answers on that were funny as well.

Here's an update on the special. He has made over $1M on the special. he donated $280K to charity and $250K was given out as bonuses to his staff. Sounds like it was a success.

He kept $220 of it for himself.

" That leaves me with 220k for myself. Some of that will pay my rent and will care for my childen. The rest I will do terrible, horrible things with and none of that is any of your business. In any case, to me, 220k is enough out of a million. "

I like that a lot.
