Blogger Targets AOL, Seeks Class-Action Status

I guess it was just a matter of time before the 9,000 unpaid bloggers lawyered up and went after their fair share of that $315M AOL paid for HuffPo.

A political activist and longtime blogger for The Huffington Post filed suit Tuesday against the digital publication, its founders Arianna Huffington and Kenneth Lerer, and its new parent company AOL, citing its use of unpaid blogger talent. The plaintiff, Jonathan Tasini, is seeking class-action status; he filed on behalf of a "putative class" of the estimated 9,000 people who have been published on The Huffington Post without compensation.
