Okay the last two don't really deserve the harsh langauge. I like my triptiks and plan on living long enough to take advantage of the benefits of being an AARP member... but my point is:
Monty Python has a youtube channel. They have uploaded their own HQ quality clips and even replaced the most popular clips from youtube with new HQ ones. While the rest of the movie/music/television industry is complaining about how sites like youtube are ripping them off the nice Monty Python chaps are offering their content for free.
Has this hurt their DVD sales? Apparently not. Since the inception of the Monty Python Youtube channel their DVDs have jumped to the number 2 spot on Amazon.com's bestseller list and sales of their DVDs have increased over 20,000 percent.
