I posted about this in the Louie thread. I'm glad he found a way around his whole "No more specials while I'm doing Louie" thing.
This is good! I was sort of expecting something a bit more minimalist because it was a web-only thing, but it's a real special, shot nicely, looks pretty, HD quality. Could have just as easily been a DVD.
The material reminds me maybe a little more of his older material in that it's not as dark and personal, but Louie's always funny regardless.

I know paypal is the antichrist, but Louie deserves it.
You can stream twice or download twice after paying $5. It's a non-drm 720p h.264 file. The way it shit should be done.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.
Sincerely,
Louis C.K.

Maybe you can, but I can't. Trust me.
It really does make sense, when you think about it. If he did it any other way, DVD, DRM, anything, it'd be up on piratebay within an hour anyway. The same exact number of people will pirate it regardless, but for the rest, there are probably more people who would throw in $5 than $17 or whatever. He'll probably make more money this way.
Also, new CD coming out? There's no way that could be different material than this, right?
Sell me a poke.
I feel like I'm missing an important piece of the puzzle. He's very funny, but why are we supposed to have raging boners over this?
Hostages? **** em'
What you're missing is good taste. In anything.
can't wake up
I don't like buying DVDs or CDs for stuff like this because it's $10-$15 for something I'll watch once. But $5 is perfect. Well done Louis CK.
Sell me a poke.
I said he was funny, and I like his work. What I don't see is why this is the second coming of comedy.
I also don't see how my lack of understanding the significance of an event has anything to do with my taste. Perhaps you can explain it to me.
