He agreed to post on their web site with no guarantee of pay. The service he provided to the huffington post was given freely and now he sees an opportunity to cash in. Hoodwinked? This is a ridiculous and frivolous lawsuit.

Once it got sold, however, it was only a matter of time before someone sued. Huffington Post is essentially arguing that they provided a marketplace for writers and that it is the marketplace which has value and that the actual content was worthless. The rebuttal is that without content no one would care about the marketplace.

And it’s taken him until NOW to figure out that maybe he misunderstood the terms under which he was working? If Slow Learner Central is looking for a new poster child, look no further!
