[QUOTE=AaRoNg11;33869681]I wonder how long it takes before another news story pops up about his Paypal account mysteriously being limited.[/QUOTE] I don't think PayPal would dare do that to a celebrity, that would be a shitton of terrible publicity.
Didn't he say he was going to use the money for a movie?
[QUOTE=Kopimi;33871897]yeah i read that after i posted my comment not sure why everyone was so offended by it though, wasn't trying to say anything bad about Louis[/QUOTE] because it assumes that comedians are all a bunch of sad jealous assholes with shitty lives
I bet if every company did this the results wouldn't be the same at all. Most of the advertising came from "omg no drm, buy!".
Bought it. this is going to be a fun night
[QUOTE=The Baconator;33871843]Link? Or very good article or source covering it with quotes or screenshots?[/QUOTE] He says it in the show.
[QUOTE=The Baconator;33869669]He just confirmed on his Twitter he is giving $280,000 to charity. Why can't more people be like him?[/QUOTE] Because most people don't have $280,000 to give away.
Bought it.

The problem is that thus only works so goog BECAUSE everyone else has harsh DRM.

The only reason I might of pirated some certain games instead of buying them from Steam, is that Steam doesn't provide them for Estonia.

his next big seller, a DRM free digital copy of his new book, how to become a millionaire the smart way.
Man he chose some good charities too. I love this dude.
JESUS DRAW THAT MONEY OF PAYPAL
Buying it.
Hm, makes me wonder, if one day someone creates an interesting DRM security which would do absolutely fucking nothing at all. Would be best DRM ever.
He now needs to get that money out of Paypal ASAP, before they lock his account.
common sense really, I can't believe more people don't do this same principle as those ridiculous steam sales really

I wish my PayPal looked like that. Time to go photoshopping to make myself feel better.
He has a lot of claims and disputes...
DRM probably had little to do with this. The cheap price of $5 is the big seller.
Also take a look at Minecraft lack of DRM and it still sells millions. Steam drm is minimal but Valve can still make millions without to implement harse DRM unlike EA and Ubisoft This guys made a point and this is certain that SOPA is not needed [editline]25th December 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Pteradactyl;33877412]DRM probably had little to do with this. The cheap price of $5 is the big seller.[/QUOTE] Plus the fact that the small price is justifiable for the product given

In fact, I see a lot more "do ho ho, wait till those angsty atheists see [I]this[/I]!"
Funny man, bought it.
[del]I'm torrenting it anyway[/del] I mean what a great guy he proved that economics are great but people are shit
