Aziz Ansari releases DRM-free standup special for $5
I know Louis CK was successful in this model, but at the time I expressed hesitation about others following his lead.<p>He made a good amount of money, but given Louis CK is probably the most popular working comedian today, it didn't seem like ENOUGH money to justify the entire business model (assuming no one else would make as much doing the same).<p>But now Aziz Ansari is doing it. Jim Gaffigan has announced plans to do so as well.<p>I know we'll have to wait for their numbers to come in to find out if Louis CK was a fluke or a trend, but I'm really hoping I was wrong and it's the latter.<p>If this is the future of selling online content, sign me up.
