Thank you, Madam Chair.
Welcome, witnesses.
I liked Mr. Kumagai's presentation and what Ms. Moore just said about the need to inform the “user”, the “ticket purchaser”. I think I understand that from the moment when someone goes to a fraudulent site to purchase tickets, it's all over. In other words, the artist will not get paid. The owner of the show venue will not get paid either, and the user will not have a ticket. It seems very difficult for law enforcement to track those fraudsters.
My questions are for Mr. Kumagai or Ms. Moore. If I understood correctly, money is then lost. Does that represent a lot of lost money?
Are a large number of people buying virtual tickets that don't get them anywhere?
