What should they do? gather a team of representatives, contact Huffington Post and explain to them how this business works. Maybe HP understands, accepts they fuck up and shut it down (showing millions of business owners and 'clients' that design is not a joke). And if they don't, AIGA would get SOME sort of credibility from designers who pay WAY too much for a useless membership...

Looking forward to seeing the lead in their Business section tomorrow about corporations underpaying, if paying at all, their workforce.
I know they know that "participation is compensation" is no way to move folks out of a stagnant economy as evidenced by all the little pictures of economists and smart people that adorn the periphery.
Besides, seeing as HP has been down this road before with columnists, it be a surprise that designers, too, like to be paid for time spent and intellectual property.

They probably won't comment at all, and blow sunshine up everyone's arses by declaring victory for having 'started a conversation', rather than simply saying, 'We're sorry, we fucked up.'

I would like to see their response to all those comments...

Loving the professional outrage in the comments at the Huff article.
