That class action suit is some grade A garbage from a legal standpoint. But perhaps the goal is just to try to put pressure on HuffPo to change their model by drawing attention to it. In which case I still think it won't work, but it's a less stupid explanation than imagining that the plaintiff or his lawyers think they're going to get any money out of this.
If I were HuffPo and I were ruthless I don't think I'd offer a dime of settlement. I'd rather spend the money to fight it and not open myself and other media outlets to future strike suits.

Come to think of it, maybe freelance writers should be suing huffpo's bloggers, since they're DEvaluing writing and chipping away at their ability to make a living.

“Do you guys even CARE what I write? Does it make any difference if it’s good or bad?” I said.
“Not really,” was the reply.

Love the idea of a blog about internet startups having a badass 'fuck-you' attitude

"Ceding control to the Huffington Post will be the death of everything - the voice, the swagger, the 'fuck you' attitude - that makes TechCrunch great." Emphasis from the original (!).
except in the original it's emphasized because he's quoting someone else. either the valleywag writer didn't notice that because he didn't read the whole piece he's writing about or he's deliberately suggesting the emphasis is carr's which is a weird way of making him come off as more forceful than he actually is.

ehhhhhhh hoos i feel you but why did carr italicize (rather than use quote marks)? i think what ryans doing is well in bounds
