Re:Aziz Ansari releases DRM-free standup special for $5 by tdoggette on Tuesday March 20, 2012 @10:59AM (#3729558)
I liked Louis CK from before his $5 special. When he released it, I read all about what the deal was, bought it, and thought it was at least five bucks worth of funny.

I also like Aziz Ansari, so when I saw this, I skipped the reading part-- I skimmed the copy on my way through the checkout process to make sure everything was cool (it was) and paid my money.

I'll keep doing that as long as artists I like keep releasing stuff like this.

Plus you have to like the "freemium" model he did with the preview.

I really really hope this trend catches on!
