After making a lot of their popular video clips available online, Monty Python has seen a DVD sales increase of over 23,000 percent.
“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,”
said the group when the clips went up.

As of yesterday, Monty Python's DVDs had jumped up to the top of Amazon’s Movies & TV bestsellers list.
