Humble Comedy Bundle lets you pay what you want for laughs, big spenders get Louis CK
Posted in: Today's Chili
The Humble business model can apply to anything. Now, you can pay what you want for stand-up comedy in addition to e-books, music and video games. For the next two weeks, you can get comedy specials from Maria Bamford, Tig Notaro, Hannibal Buress and Jim Norton for as little or as much as you care to spend. If you exceed the average donation though (currently $8.60), you’ll take home Louis C.K.‘s killer Live at the Beacon Theater set and three releases from his very good friend, the late Patrice O’Neal. As is the case with other Humble Bundles, anything you download is DRM-free and your donation supports great causes — all for less than a comedy club’s typical two-drink minimum.

Louis CK to offer HBO show as DRM-free download, chip away at cable content deals
Posted in: Today's Chili 
With certain exceptions, HBO has developed a reputation for being protective of where and how its content goes digital. That makes Louis CK’s plans for a 2013 comedy special a slight jolt to the system, even though it’s not his first digital release linked to the channel. While HBO will get a first crack at airing the show, which will be recorded during Louis’ ongoing tour, the comedian now plans to post the production online a few months afterwards using the same successful formula that has become his calling card: $5, no DRM and no region restrictions. The offering doesn’t overhaul the industry, but it undoubtedly wrests control from the network as soon as the download link goes live. Think of Louis as making a small crack in cable TV’s content wall.
