The image that will define 2011: Christians form a circle around praying Muslim protesters in Cairo, Egypt in February 2011. The protest, one of many known collectively as the Arab Spring, dominated the media in the early months of 2011 as dictators fell and new governments were formed.

The photo, which was published in newspapers, on blogs and aired on television around the world, was not snapped by a professional photographer and was not delivered by a wire service, but instead was taken by a fellow demonstrator and was uploaded to the Twitter social media service.

Louis C.K.'s Downloadable Comedy Special Earning Big Bucks | Vulture:

popculturebrain:

He took to his website to write,

“12 hours [after the special’s noon launch on Dec. 10], we had over 50,000 purchases and had earned $250,000, breaking even on the cost of production and website. As of Today, we’ve sold over 110,000 copies for a total of over $500,000. Minus some money for PayPal charges etc, I have a profit around $200,000 (after taxes $75.58). This is less than I would have been paid by a large company to simply perform the show and let them sell it to you, but they would have charged you about $20 for the video.”

I think this proves that good content rises to the top and despite the availability of pirating, people will pay for value.
