This reminds me of the thing KMFDM did some years ago. It was called "The Horde" and you paid $50 to get a shirt, exclusive song downloads, and special "meet the band" parties at the stops on the tour.
That $50 seemed extreme, but all that crap sounds better than paying $40 to basically read Billy's blog.
One day Billy might realize that the key to making money (in my mind) is releasing some old live shows, demos, and rare b-sides.
Or maybe even that "Final Show" DVD we were told about earlier this decade.

The latest he said about releasing old material was this...
"I can say from my end right now the biggest hurdle is sorting out the business side with our former label EMI (once Virgin). As some of you know, there are currently 3 lawsuits; the band is suing EMI, 2 of my former band mates are suing EMI, and EMI is suing me because of the ex-bandmember lawsuit. Thankfully EMI has shown a willingness to try to sort this out and God willing it will be resolved soon. My hope is to have access to all of the unreleased materials (with the contractual rights clearly worked out) so that I can set a plan in motion to get it all out over the next decade. That would be the best way, but sometimes that is not the way it works out. I do have all the Gish unreleased rights, but I don't want to kick start that and by the time we get to Siamese have a whole legal mess on our hands and then have to stop our momentum. It's all or nothing with the archives. Those with a positive attitude can see that as a blessing because it means if stuff starts to come out it's all coming out."
