'When I think about business models, I'm reminded of US Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart addressing the question of pornography: “I shall not today attempt further to define [pornography] . . . and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so.

Potter Stewart's decree in Jacobellis v. Ohio applies to comedy as much as it does obscenity: we know it when we see it. If it makes you laugh, it does its job—and maybe, if you're lucky, it'll also make you think a little bit, too. Whether it's stand-up, sketch, sitcoms, podcasts, Twitter or any other kind of outlet,ÃÂ ...
