It has legal precident. There was a class action lawsuit, with payout, when AOL changed the chatrooms for moneys and the chatrooms mods were able to organize and argue for all their past unpaid work. Unpaid workers or volunteers only work as free labor when the business isn’t selling something. When money is involved there are different rules with dept of labor and everything. I don’t know the specific details, but yeah a class action lawsuit of this type has happened before with a payout. I’m sure they can find plenty of lawyers that want a class action payout.
Lol. Good luck finding a lawyer to that that case. I’m with the mods but I assume this a joke that got out of hand.
I assume they’re realistic enough to know that this really won’t go anywhere and that the whole point of the discussion is simply to make some noise.
