Apatow was adamant that Cosby be held accountable for his actions and not be accorded show biz privilege and get off the hook. I have no doubt that Maron will call to have Louis CK held to account but it must be tearing him up inside. Louis is a friend of his and he has to have heard the rumors all these years. Joy Behar asked him what he thought of the story a couple of weeks ago and he said that Louis said it's all rumors and wouldn't comment more. Now he has to. > > CK’s business model is ultimately a greater legacy than his actual comedy. > He was the first to eschew a standard record deal or half-hour TV special > to produce and distribute his material online.

The more comics that copy it, the more their work will get lost in the great sea of content.
