Hangin' with Gork & Mork

Since the early days of LiveJournal and Angelfire, the internet has been a place to freely spout one’s opinions. And for many of those who love to star this or thumbs-down that, financial gain seems to hardly be a motivating factor. (Beanie Babies reviews are all about passion, OK?!)
But in a new class-action lawsuit, a group of Yelp reviewers say that they deserve to be monetarily compensated for their work. Apparently Yelp pays a few individuals the suit calls “scouts” (Yelp calls them “marketing assistants”), who write reviews for geographic areas that lack a critical mass of Yelp reviewers. The lawsuit claims that these scouts do the “exact same work" as some ordinary Yelp reviewers, but receive cold, hard cash in exchange. "This is a lawsuit merely to provide the wages to all writers of Yelp and not just the ones which Yelp, Inc. chooses to pay in wages," the complaint reads.
I consider all this discussion unpaid editorials!

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

The sad thing is this actually has a decent chance of success. Lawyers cost money even when you win a case, so Yelp might just settle out of court and pay them to go away.
|
There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices. |

That might be one of the biggest flaws of our legal system.

Or Yelp will hire the best lawyers available to them and completely and utterly destroy them, so as to deter any other would-be writers.
