I was very jazzed to see that there is now an
official Monty Python YouTube channel; they've analyzed all the most popular clips that other people have posted from the TV show and the movies, and have begun posting high quality versions of them, as well as behind-the-scenes bits and interviews. All for free.
In return, they would like folks to go out and buy Python DVDs and other merch, in order to "soften our pain and disgust at being ripped off all these years." The move has led to a sales increase at Amazon of 23,000 percent.
