I really like this $5 thing Louis CK started, and I bet they will make more overall, and also have more exposure with that option. Honestly if I really liked a comedian and wanted to see their latest special I would try my best to find it somewhere to watch online as soon as possible, and usually that would be a torrent or some other way that is free, because I dont want to pay $20 and wait days for the DVD to arrive in the mail, that's ridiculous considering we're on the internet already. But they're now going with this $5 download now or stream now option and I have no problem paying even if they aren't one of my favorite comedians and I just want something remotely funny to watch for an hour or so. I didn't even really like that clip honestly but the guy was funny in some movies I saw so I don't mind sending $5 quickly via Paypal even if I don't want to watch it. It's all about how easy it is to purchase. The porn industry (or Visa, etc. rather) needs to take note of this, although they can't accept Paypal so that's a hurdle that can't really be overcome.
Edit: LOL @ the confirmation email
"OH SHIITTTT!!!! Thanks for buying my new comedy special!!! THAT $5 IS MINE SON. Just kidding, but seriously it is. I worked hard to write, tour, and film the special though so it's cool right? Seriously, thank you for your support."
