For Louis CK, the Future of Content is No Laughing Matter

Comedian Louis C.K. is helping to change the way entertainment and media materials are created, produced, and distributed online. For one of his performances this year, he bypassed cable TV and streamed a live show on his website for just $5.David Carr said that what made the experiment so revolutionary - and effective - was that C.K. did everything himself, from producing to editing to managing the downloads. With the cost of production so slow, he was able to turn a huge profit. “He expected 200,000 total downloads by the weekend, which meant he would have grossed $1 million. After covering costs of about $250,000 for the live production and the Web site, that’s a $750,000 profit.”
