Please read our formal complaint submitted to the FTC on BOTS Act violators. https://t.co/vhcIkjXLVG

[National Independent Talent Organization @NITO_Live]

Back in July, one of our members attended the World Ticketing Conference in Nashville. NITO just filed a formal complaint with the FTC about what we witnessed, including exhibitors selling tech to circumvent security measures and ticket limits, illegal under the 2016 BOTS Act.

This would amount to hundreds of millions of dollars annually to US musicians for domestic and international airplay. We ask all NITO members to use the link in our bio to contact their congressional representatives and ask them to pass this bill.

Yesterday, NITO sent this letter to House and Senate staffers urging Congress to pass the long overdue American Music Fairness Act. If passed, music workers would finally get a performance royalty for terrestrial radio broadcasts. #musicfairness

Great having so many NITO members at last week's @nivassoc Conference. We had a joint board meeting with NIVA and NITO and are excited about new ways to work together more closely moving forward!

🚀 Why it matters:

• Preserving Creativity: We champion AI that supports, not supplants, the musical artistry that shapes our culture.

• Empowering Voices: It's crucial that the interests of those who bring music to life are heard and respected.

It's true, watching @BuckDharmaBOC testify was a highlight of this fight. An absolute legend of rock music, offering his two minutes of public testimony like any other citizen! Totally inspiring!

We will continue to push back against resellers at the federal and state level until artist voices are heard louder than the secondary sites. Join our effort at https://t.co/Wz74ADilVA

Predatory resellers are in a tech arms race with artists and venues. They get past ticket limits using bot tech, banned under federal law. The Fans First Act in the Senate, supported by NITO and the #FixTheTix coalition, would strengthen the BOTS Act and enforcement mechanisms.

[National Independent Talent Organization @NITO_Live]

In February, NITO Member Dave Shapiro from Sound Talent Group testified before the California State Assembly, discussing the intensive process of cancelling bot tickets and the issues that arise from the current lack of enforcement. #FixTheTix
