THE HONORS: The Webby Awards name Louis C.K. as the “person of the year” for setting “a new precedent for distribution.”
WHAT HE DID: He released his comedy special “Live at the Beacon Theater” by himself on his website for $5. It was little more than a cautiously optimistic experiment, but it had reaped more than $1 million less than two weeks later.
FOOTSTEPS: Comedians Aziz Ansari and Jim Gaffigan have since similarly released albums online.
