Should Anti-Scalping Laws Apply to Internet Ticket Providers?Generally, Internet ticket providers are in the business of buying and selling tickets to spectator events, above face value. Some have equated Internet ticket providers with illegal ticket scalping. In particular, some state anti-scalping laws have been applied to Internet ticketing transactions, resulting in both criminal and civil sanctions. However, the application of proper Internet notices and appropriate Web site access limitations may render such state anti-scalping laws moot, says Jonathan Bick.

Enforceable Browse-Wrap Contracts and Sufficient NoticeKaren Berger, an Internet lawyer in West Orange, N.J., and Jonathan Bick, of counsel to Brach Eichler and an adjunct professor at Pace Law School and Rutgers Law School, review cases regarding the enforceability of browse-wrap agreements, which are increasingly replacing click-wrap agreements that required users to affirm acceptance of a site's terms of use by clicking on a button. One plausible reading of the cases, they write, is that courts in browse-wrap issues show greater solicitude to consumers than to businesses, and will enforce browse-wraps primarily in business-to-business rather than business-to-consumer transactions.
