Tech Dirt fighting for its life
 

Email “inventor” might be backed by Thiel

Tech Dirt is fighting for its financial life in a case which should put the fear of god into the tech press.

Last week the outfit was sued for $15 million by Shiva Ayyadurai who claims to have invented email. But it is starting to look like Ayyadurai’s case would not go ahead without the bulky wallet of Peter Theil.

For those who came in late, Thiel backed Hulk Hogan against Gizmodo’s Gawker Media which forced the company to sell off all its assets. Gawker had a lot more dosh than Tech Dirt.
