Well, good :) He seems to be the latest in a sometimes very arbitrary line of UK comedians who get successfully imported to the US.
On the subject of the article, I love the convenience of downloading films/TV (legitimately or illegitimately) and just getting a video file that I can do anything with, rather than being trapped in a heap of unnecessary stuff that comes along with it. It's telling, and quite wonderful, that he mentions downloading his own programmes because it's easier for him than doing the same with the DVDs :) But that same feeling hasn't extended to all physical media, because I still love having the complete package for CDs too much to want to buy albums digitally online, and that feeling hasn't faded for me yet. Perhaps it's because all the extra nonsense on film media hasn't yet invaded the music world.
