Important Information Regarding Your Ticket Buying Rights

I actually got this email:

Important Information Regarding Your Ticket Buying Rights
.
Dear KBilly,
As you read this, companies like Ticketmaster are working to implement a restrictive paperless ticketing system that could deprive you of your essential rights as a fan.
.
With restrictive paperless ticketing, you pay for your ticket – but you don't own it. The transfer of your ticket is controlled by the company you bought it from.
.
This means you may not be able to give your extra tickets to a friend, sell them to another fan, or even donate them to a charity. This could also mean the end of competition in the ticketing market, making it so companies like Ticketmaster could charge whatever fees they wanted and you'd have no alternative but to pay.
.
Fortunately, we can fight this. The Fan Freedom Project was created to give fans like you a platform to voice your outrage toward restrictive paperless ticketing, and to learn what measures you can take to protect your rights.
.
We've signed on to support the cause. And we hope you'll lend your voice to the fight today by registering at www.fanfreedom.org.
.
Sincerely,
The StubHub Team
