It's rare that celebrities, or anyone for that matter, really stick it to the man in anything but a superficial way. It's even rarer that the "man" supports it, helps promote it, and then, even rarer, that the celebrity gives away half of the money he earned on the venture. Well that rare celebrity is comedian Louis CK, who recently opted out of a network deal and sold his new special for 5$ on his website with the simple message "Please do not pirate."
The venture worked...REALLY well. In fact, CK made $1 million bucks over just a few days. Even more amazing? CK said he'd give 1/4th in bonuses to his staff, and 1/4th to charity. Check it out here...and check out his show on FX...not only is the show awesome, but apparently the real guy is also.
