Wiseguy Ticket Versus Ticketmaster

Federal Court in NJ put forward an indictment to charge four people associated with Wiseguy Ticket to use sophisticated computer programs to purchase blocks of good tickets from Ticketmaster by violating Ticketmaster's rule on the maximum number of tickets one can purchase for an event through Ticketmaster. The alleged criminals found out a way to bypass measures put in place by Ticketmaster to ensure that only a certain number of tickets can be purchase by each individual. While prosecutors came up with a convincing case, since the guys paid the full price for those tickets, it is still not clear if what happened is a crime or not, according to a NYTimes article.
