Unpaid bloggers plan to sue HuffPo, AOL

By


Arianna Huffington arrives for the Gridiron Dinner at the Renaissance Hotel in Washington last month. (Richard A. Lipski - FOR THE WASHINGTON POST) A freelance writer who successfully sued newspapers and magazines for copyright infringement will file a class-action lawsuit against the Huffington Post and AOL on Tuesday that seeks compensation for hundreds of unpaid contributors to the online publication.

Jonathan Tasini is the lead plaintiff in the suit against the news site, which AOL bought for $315 million in February. His suit, which he said he would file in a New York court Tuesday, seeks $105 million in damages in behalf of bloggers and other Huffington Post writers who submitted work for which they weren’t paid.
