Live Nation has characterized the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) lawsuit concerning the BOTS Act as 'misguided,' asserting that the agency is misinterpreting the legislation. The company argues that the FTC's stance could improperly hold ticketing firms liable for reselling tickets on their own platforms.
The FTC's potential success in this case could extend liability to ticketing companies that were aware or should have been aware of illicit ticket resales. Originally reported by Music Business Worldwide.
