'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. But I'd just like you to consider this: I made this video extremely easy to use against well-informed advice. I was told that it would be easier to torrent the way I made it, but I chose to do it this way anyway, because I want it to be easy for people to watch and enjoy this video in any way they want without "corporate" restrictions. Please bear in mind that I am not a company or a corporation. I'm just some guy. I paid for the production and posting of this video with my own money. I would like to be able to post more material to the fans in this way, which makes it cheaper for the buyer and more pleasant for me. So, please help me keep this being a good idea. I can't stop you from torrenting; all I can do is politely ask you to pay your five little dollars, enjoy the video, and let other people find it in the same way.' – Louis CK

This post was deleted for the following reason: This is an interesting thing, but a single link to a "buy now" page is not a great way to present it. It's be great if someone made a more substantial post about this. -- restless_nomad



 
I like Louis a lot, and I don't like DRM or regional restrictions, and so I hope this strategy is effective.

Hah, I was wondering the other day when that shitty op ed piece hit the front page if he'd released this yet. I'm gonna pay the $5 cause I love this man.

I'm going to be offering other things through this site. Would you like to hear about them?

Yes, I'd like to receive further emails about Louis C.K. things.
No, leave me alone forever, you fat idiot.

(For what it's worth, I also like torrents a lot.)

Sounds pretty reasonable.
