"We've written plenty about Jonathan Coulton over the years, including two recent stories. The first was his revelation that he grossed about half a million dollars last year -- even with his music being offered under a Creative Commons license such that you could share it.

We also wrote about his thoughtful discussion over what the shutting down of Megaupload meant."
