I bought this purely to support him for being brave enough to release it DRM-free. Currently watching it and trying not to snort my drink over my laptop due to laughing too much. Excellent way to discover a new comic I'd say.
His show "Louie" is equal parts drama and comedy. It's really an amazing show and he's easily the top comedian today, hands down.
Just bought it. While I'm really happy to support DRM free content, I must say I am somewhat disappointed that you can only download it twice. "PLEASE NOTE that you can only stream the film twice AND you can download the film twice. Once you start a stream of the film, your stream will be active for 8 hours.

And I can buy it from any country, as long as I have a paypal account. Neat.
I'd LOVE to see more content producers distributing their own content rather than giving money to middlemen. I am not sure if this would also work for people that DON'T have their own TV show but just start doing things. Maybe something akin to "openers" on concerts would work. Bundling less known content in a "pay what you want" basis.
Although I agree, I'm not sure this distribution method scales as is. I just sent Louis 5 bucks, downloaded the video, copied it to a USB drive, and then hooked it up to my Roku. I'm fine doing that ad hoc process occasionally, but if I got most of my media this way it'd get old very fast. Surely there is a better way to distribute this stuff such that it doesn't take away the nice advantages and gives most/all the m…

His description of why he did it: To those who might wish to "torrent" this video: look, I don't really get the whole "torrent" thing. I don't know enough about it to judge either way.

>>HI. I’m Louis CK. Can you please take this down? This show is a work in progress and was not intended to be passed around the internet. I have absolutely no problem, personally, with file sharing, and if you take everythign [sic] I have on the market on DVD, CD, and put it up for free downloading, I don’t care. But this is an artistic and personal request. Please take this torrent down. thanks. LCK
I wonder how much he makes after bandwidth + paypal fees, he limits it to 2 streams and 2 downloads but the file is still 1.2 gig so not a small one..
