Just after I posted about a tiered model for fan supported video games, Techdirt has unveiled a tiered model of its own.  In order to prove that this tiered model can work, Techdirt is offering a variety of options, selling books, t-shirts, music, and at higher prices, the opportunity to have your business plan reviewed and even have Michael Masnick work for you. For $100,000,000, you can shut down Techdirt for a year. I wonder if there are any copyright maximists pooling their resources. Which tier do you like best?
