I believe the commenter on reddit is mistaken. If you're doing an internship for class credit (as is indicated in reddit's blog post), it can be unpaid. Note:

  It has to not seem like a sham class, though, at least if anyone actually investigates it. Just the fact that you get course credit isn't really enough; it also has to be mainly educational, not just a job relabeled as a class. Here's the federal government's six-part test for it: http://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs71.pdf http://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs71.pdf
