Mel, this is a frequently asked question. Though the procedure
for the Free Culture mailing list differs in detail from the
procedure for the Crackmonkey mailing list, the bauplan is the
same:

Here is question and answer Number 3, from
http://crackmonkey.org/faq.html
3. D00d! H0w D00 1 uN$ub$cr1b3?!!!!!!!!!??????!!!!!!???????!?!?!?!?!!!!
Simply write the word "unsubscribe" on the back of a hundred
dollar bill and send it to:
CrackMonkey Unsubscription Service
1 St Francis Place #5209
San Francisco, CA 94107
and we will be happy to send you the appropriate forms. Once you
receive the forms, you will be able to order an authorization key
for downloading the special CrackMonkey unsubscription
software. Once your key arrives in the mail, simply go to the
crackmonkey unsubscription web page and fill in your key along
with appropriate personal information.
In addition to the disclaimer that your home address and e-mail
will be given to targeted advertising groups across the nation,
there are some limitations to the availability of the CrackMonkey
unsubscription software. First, the software contains encryption,
so it cannot be downloaded by someone living outside of the
continental US (our sophisticated server will check your address
for proof of this). Second, the software contains certain
algorithms that are patented under US patent law, so it cannot be
downloaded by someone living in the United States (our
sophisticated server will check your address for proof of this).
Once you have received the software, simply refer to the
extensive 300-page manual (available in hardcover or trade
paperback from CrackMonkey publishing, Inc. for the affordable
sum of $400 plus shipping and handling charges and kickbacks for
the courier service). You should be able to unsubscribe from any
crackmonkey mailing list version 2.3 or prior (note: a patch for
the current 4.3 crackmonkey list is in the works, and should be
available by Christmas 1999! On a similar note, the new 5.0
crackmonkey list should be in operation by October 1999!).
In addition to unsubscribing you from the mailing list, you will
also receive (as our gift to you for a mere additional $4.99) a
strontium-plated CrackMonkey yoyo, complete with 30-page
instruction booklet and lead-lined asbestos oven mitt! Note that
this is not commonly available in the United States due to
federal regulations, but it is possible through the crackmonkey
rider in the latest CDA bill!
There is another procedure which may be used, because you have
already taken Step 0. There is no published full account of the
alternative procedure, but it is well known that Step 1 requires
making a post in whose subject line appears either
a. all of the words "Marina Sirtis", "FREE", "GIFS", and six or more "!"s
or
b. any of the phrases "Ludwig Plutonium", "B1FF", "Cantor's FALSE
PROOF", "Eckankar", "Green Card"
Usually those who successfully complete Steps 0 and 1 find the
rest of the way easy.
oo--JS.

What advice would you give Louis CK?
To embrace the Torrents and every other way of getting his work out to
his fans, who *want* to support him. To completely separate the means
of distribution from the means of payment. They're effectively separate
already; he might as well just let his fans take care of distribution,
so he can concentrate on making payment as easy as possible.

I totally agree that there's something appealing in his attitude. He
avoids castigating his fans for wanting to share his stuff; he just asks
them to support him.
