A University of Kentucky law professor, Josh Douglas, took to Twitter today to ask the masses a burning ethical question: should Swifties currently in the verified fan presale queue be exempt from being on call today?

googletag.cmd.push( function() { // Enable lazy loading. googletag.pubads().enableLazyLoad({ renderMarginPercent: 150, mobileScaling: 2 }); // Display ad. googletag.display( "div-id-for-top-300x250" ); googletag.enableServices(); });

You know the answer all too well, unless you want bad blood — or worse, bad karma — you’ve got to give them a pass. Fail to do so, and then don’t blame me when they wish you death by a thousand cuts. Taylor taught them no body, no crime.

Hopefully, Douglas had an epiphany and gave the mega fans some peace and a break from being on call. After all, they’re also learning about the law while waiting in a seemingly endless virtual line on a website that kept crashing. And that has everything to do with antitrust law.

Daily reminder that Ticketmaster is a monopoly, it’s merger with LiveNation should never have been approved, and they need to be reigned in.

Break them up.
