The new bill is called\u00a0the &#8220;Better Online Ticket Sales Act of 2016&#8221;, or if you prefer, the BOTS Act.<\/p>\n<p>White House Press describes the new law\u00a0&#8220;prohibits the circumvention of control measures used by Internet ticket sellers to ensure equitable consumer access to tickets for certain events.&#8221; This measure of preventing bots starts with forums like Ticketmaster, and other platforms to purchase tickets for concerts, shows, etc. Soon, though, the law could extend to the sell of sneakers and streetwear.<\/p>\n<p>For now the use of bots is completely illegal. Additionally, the use of bots for reselling tickets is prohibited. So in the near future, this law could be reinforced to cover all consumers goods, including sneakers.
