Ticketmaster Exec Accused of Hacking Trade Secrets

2017/02/23

An executive at online ticket seller Ticketmaster has been accused of hacking computers and appropriating trade secrets by a rival.
On February 16, Songkick filed an amended complaint at the US District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division.
Songkick claimed that a former CrowdSurge executive accessed CrowdSurge’s protected computers and improperly acquired and used CrowdSurge’s trade secrets and confidential information.
According to Ticketmaster, the court granted its motion to dismiss a “significant swathe” of Songkick’s antitrust claims.
Ticketmaster added that the claims have no legal merit and that the company and Live Nation will continue to “vigorously” defend this case.
