@louisck Reports His Content Experiment Sold $500,000 Worth Of Downloads

shutterstock_42686767It's always heartening to see an experiment in disintermediated content succeed and it could have happened to a better guy. Louis CK began selling his one-hour comedy special on his own website for $5 a pop last Sunday and, as of today, he's reporting he's made over $500,000 from 110,000 downloads. This is a profit of over $200,000 on a concert that cost him about $170,000 to film and edit (most of that paid with ticket sales) and a website that cost $32,000 to build (which suggests that I'm in the wrong line of work. Carlos Mencia: Call me. I know HTML).
