Monty Python selling free content (no, they’re not…)
If you love Monty Python (and who doesn’t?), you can watch a number of the group’s classic skits for free on the Internet. But Monty Python wants to sell DVDs of the old material. So they’re giving it away. Confused? Here’s the explanation:
“We’re letting you see absolutely everything for free. So there! But we want something in return. None of your driveling, mindless comments. Instead, we want you to click on the links, buy our movies & TV shows and soften our pain and disgust at being ripped off all these years.”
And it’s working. Mashable.com notes that sales of Monty Python DVDs at Amazon.com jumped dramatically with the YouTube promotion.
Head over to the Monty Python channel at YouTube to see more high-quality versions of the clips.
