The private sector does not force people at gunpoint to turn over a large part of their property.
Only as a technicality, as a true 'private sector' is rare these days in any large corporation--much more government sponsored enterprise.

Best $5 I've ever spent. Definitely edged out all the humble bundles I've purchased lol. I hope he starts a trend and encourages other comedians to do this... I would buy a LOT more comedy specials like this instead of waiting for them to come out on Netflix.
I loved Lucky Louie on HBO and Lucky Louie on FX. My favorite comedian lil Jimmy Norton was on Lucky Louie.
It costs $250k to produce that 1-hr. video and to build a website?!
He made $220k (and counting) for an hour's worth of work. Not too shabby.
So who else BT'd his show?

Cool, so you can send the link to 2 other people, in a way, gifting them the performance. Yeah, I like how he got rid of the middlemen and hopefully this will set an example for other artists, musicians, performers, comedians, etc. to shun the RIAA and MPAA.Even if you DID BT his show, there's no reason to. He allowed everyone that bought it to download it 3 times.
I gave one to my gf and used 1, I still have a 3rd download. So, you might consider it stealing, he doesn't. He considered it part of doing business, and because of that, he made himself and a lot of other hard working people, some nice money.
He proved a good point in the process of doing so. Sell it at a reasonable price and people WILL buy it. Had he asked $50 for the same video nobody would have bought it, but a ticket to a local comedy show is about $12, he, being a top tier comic would get $30 a seat, but still the point is, he filled an arena of people virtually, while selling tickets physically and cleaning house on both ends.
He wins the game of economics that the RIAA and MPAA fail at.
BW is relatively cheap. 200k downloads times 1.1 GB is 220 TB of BW. That doesn't seem that bad, not sure how much that would cost, but I'm sure it's much less than, say, Steam's servers. Even if, like the previous person said that up to 3 downloads are allowed per purchase, that's 660 TB. I'm not saying that's cheap, but that can't be anywhere near $250k. And as far as producing the show, how much different was his performance compared to his previous performance? Does he change it up a lot? From what I understand, comedians don't make wholesale changes between acts.Uh....yeah. Writing, promoting, recording, producing and editing a show like that is easy as hell, it clearly only took him an hour. Also bandwidth for tens of thousands of downloads, and servers to handle the traffic are free too. It was definitely $250K for only an hour or so of work.....
