He is probably my favorite comic working today. I also think part of the success is that he just asked people not to be assholes. Instead of taking the stance of, "If you steal it I will sue you." He just asked people not to take it and explained that it wasn't cheap or easy to do this and he feels it is a fair price and people responded.
I think artists who have the respect of their fans can do things like this. There are a lot of entertainers in comedy, movies, music and literature that try to milk their fans for every penny. Those who don't and who are honest with them and try to give them something great at a fair price can do things like this.
A band like Pearl Jam comes to mine. The self distribute their albums now and still sell a decent amount. When they tour they will sell out 12,000-25,000 seat venues everywhere they go because they are cool with the fans, don't overcharge and work hard to deliver a great product.
