Awesome.
Not only was he able to bypass the corporations, he was able to fund his company, pay his employees a generous wage, help out numerous charities.......and still live a comfortable lifestyle.
He sets an example for the rest of them that's for sure.

Great story. Now if he could just say anything that was even amusing, let alone funny. Keep hearing what a great comedian he is; haven't heard it.

That's probably because he's also not a prick and desperate for attention like most celebrities, I love his view on facebook and twitter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSSDeesUUsU

the problem with this, and other stuff like what radiohead did, is that they are already known acts. good for them, for shedding their corporate overlords and all, but they wouldn't have had anywhere near the sales numbers if not for their previous corporate entanglements.
