Extracted from New York Times, Jan 19, 2008 -- Once upon a time, you could argue that people who bought scalped tickets might wind up buying counterfeit tickets - or that scalpers standing outside an arena created a public nuisance. But you can't make those arguments anymore: the rise of the online scalpers like StubHub has eliminated those worries. They've also done two other things: they've made it plain that anti-scalping laws are unenforceable. And they've exposed the absurdity of trying to stamp out something that is so powerfully driven by the laws of supply and demand.
