Like many comedians, CK already uses YONDR pouches (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHNlVC8NRuI) to prevent smartphones from recording his shows. But a Twitter user noticed that he now has a copyright disclaimer, which comes months after he audio of him mocking Parkland school shooting survivors (https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/31/entertainment/louis-ck-parkland-audio-trnd/index.html) was leaked online. This prompted Twitter jokes about CK caring about consent following his sexual misconduct scandal. But Conan writer Laurie Kilmartin (https://twitter.com/anylaurie16/status/1124854945067331585?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) said that while she disagrees with CK performing, it's important for comedians to protect their work. "Louis is a piece of sh*t and the comedy business still sucks but co-sign on this copyright stuff," she tweeted.
Can Louis CK use his copyright notices to successfully sue over leaks of his standup act? (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/09/arts/louis-ck-leaks-threat.html)
Legal experts say the chances of CK's copyright lawsuits succeeding are slim, but it's the threat of legal action that counts.
