Monty Python, I love thee



Take that MPAA, RIAA and other uptight entertainers who cry about how the internet and file sharing has "cost you oh so much money!" Monty Python embraced modern technology and offered their videos for free... yes free.... on You Tube. Based on the failed theory of the RIAA and MPAA, these guys should be broke by now. But quite the contrary... DVD sales have boosed by leaps and bounds. Fast Company reports that if you compare DVD sales figures on Amazon before and after the creation of the Monty Python YouTube channel, the boost apparently tallies in at around 23,000%.
