Phan scares shit out of Scalper!

Phish General
#20

the ten pages he was referring to is actually only like 3 paragraphs haha

#21

niiiiiiice work man. my roommate walked in when i was watching the video, so i briefly explained to him what you were doing, then he started listening and goes “wow- how’d they get on the topic of murder?”
great ethical debate! :smiling_imp:

#22

Did you honestly claim to be representing music today and Phish and then post this documentation as evidence on youtube which has now been archived and captured?

Do you understand the law and the consequences of what you have done with this little prank?

Do you not get it?

#23

^Haha, I think we just found our scalper! :eh:

#24

Or at least ‘a’ scalper!

#25

I can’t stand scalpers. That doesn’t have anything to do with this guy making a really bad decision by claiming to represent a company. It’s dumb and he is bound to get into a lot of trouble especially since the video has been captured and archived.

#26

Yes, I hear archiving can be a bitch.

#27

^ :laughing:

Dude, thanks for joining up and warning us of the dangers milktrey faces, but claiming to represent a company is not a felony. Doing it to extort money might be… but this? This is a fucking crank call, like the millions of other prank calls on youtube. Any LEO that saw this would laugh his ass off and buy milktrey a beer for what he did to you-- um… I mean, the scalper. :shifty:

All that said, I’ll humor you, Robert Champion. Let’s say LEO did take the claim seriously. Do you know what law would apply? The Telecommunications Act, 47 U.S.C. § 223(a)(1). The one that makes a prank call a felony if the intent is to “annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass.” But do you want to know the kicker? He avoided that by posting it on youtube. :astonished: :wave: :clap: That’s right. The same reason the Jerkey Boys aren’t in prison is what would save our boy milktrey in court. Because once the intent is “Entertainment or amusement” the felony charge is out the window. Sucks, huh?

:laughing: :laughing:

I know. I’m out of control.

“Should I call him back and ask him if he’s on Phantasy Tour?”

Hahahaha!

Kudos, man. You kept it together very well. When he kept calling you a scumbag, I don’t think I could have refrained from saying, “Sir, we believe, as would the general population, that scalpers are the scumbags”

#29

if this is the same robert champion that used to post on RMP, he’s just trolling you guys :slight_smile:

and if it is the same guy, good to see you’re still around robbie :mrgreen:

#30

Is this really happening :crazy:

#31

Is this real life?

#32

But I think I love you. Even when we don’t agree. :blush:

#33

…and so it goes… :yawn:

#34

I’d say he’s fine, if he were in trouble it would’ve been yanked.

#35

HA!!

Good points made and this is a classic thread! :thumbup:

I love the “Boatload of money spent”… LOL

#36

:cry:

#37

That’s what she said…

#38

Good job man.

:clap:

#39
