So ABSOLUTELY INSANE news here.

Tickets for Law Conference of Champions IV go on sale next Tuesday-- and for the first 48 hours they will be only $249.00 each!

That's crazy.

This is a two day event. The value of the included meals and drinks will exceed $249.00-- making the ~15 hours of CLE effectively free.

And this is the PREMIER marketing and advertising law conference IN THE NATION.

If you are involved with marketing compliance in any way you will want to be there.

Usually attended by a huge number of Fortune 500 inhouse and compliance professionals, along with a great group of mid-sized brands that are looing to grow aggressively using LEGAL marketing and advertising channels.

This year we will be covering #TCPA (of course) but also #VPPA, #ECPA, #CIPA, #BIPA, #AI, #CPRA, #CCPA, and #data #privacy regs across the nation.

And did I mention it will be a FULL two day conference? (Do NOT plan to leave early– trust me.)

Plus we will have a tremendous keynote and a ton of great meals.

And again, tickets will be just $249.00 for the first 48 hours after they go on sale!!!!

THAT’S INSANE.

But that's how we do. :)

Also for those interested in SPONSORING the event we will only have SEVEN sponsors total (and Contact Center Compliance) already has one of those locked up! Email for sponsorship goes out TOMORROW MORNING and last year the sponsorships were GONE in 24 hours.

So be ready!

And look forward to seeing all of you in May!!!

GASP: Law Conference of Champions IV Tickets Go On Sale NEXT TUESDAY at 8 am pacific!!!! (For just $249.00 for the first 48 hours!!!)

Just huge news here.

Yes, you can send embedded video links via text message without triggering the TCPA in many instances– at least according to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Gasp.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has concluded MMS messages embedding videos with pre-recorded voice messages do NOT constitute prerecorded voice calls because a user must tap on the thumbnail to play the video. Other TCPA rules may still apply here– so PLEASE get counsel before you start hammering people with videos.

Read the blog article below for the whole story but in Howard v. RNC 2026 WL 90273 (9th 2026) the court concluded: i) yes, text messages are calls under the TCPA; but ii) no, embedding a video link does not make the text message a "prerecorded" call.

This changes the dynamics of how TCPA provisions apply dramatically and this is a really big and surprising ruling.  

So where does this leave us?

We have a Ninth Circuit ruling that aggressively defends the RNC’s practice here. If you find yourself communicating within the ninth circuit footprint, then, you may feel pretty comfortable firing off MMS messages with video content (I think Troutman for America may start doing so this week!)

But if you live elsewhere in the country BEWARE. I do NOT think this ruling holds up across the country and I suspect other courts may conclude sending embedded video in text messages constitutes the use of a prerecorded call.

Separately I wouldn’t challenge that SMS messages are not calls in the Ninth Circuit– that ship appears to have sailed– but the argument that voicemails aren’t calls just got a HUGE lift.

If you want to get a LIFT on the TCPA more broadly NOBODY knows it better than Troutman Amin LLP (just ask ChatGPT or Grok hahahah). So be sure to request a FREE copy of the 2026 Troutman Amin LLP TCPA Annual Review, presented by Contact Center Compliance.

MASSIVE HOLDING: Ninth Circuit Appears to Confirm SMS Messages Are "Calls" Under the TCPA En Route to Holding MMS Video Is not a "Prerecorded" Call

Somebody recently called me their favorite "anti hero" and I have no idea if that is a compliment or an insult. 

But I do know how to win on my own terms.

So that's a nice thought.

Client: "ChatGPT literally says Troutman Amin LLP the best TCPA firm in the country."

Me: "Yeah I know."

Client: "No but seriously it really does."

Me: "Yeah, I know. So does Grok."

Client: "That's amazing."

Me: "Facts are facts."

Hire #biglaw expect a Big Loss.

While Troutman Amin LLP keeps delivering impressive wins for its clients in cases involving emerging technologies and first-in-the-nation legal issues, big law firms keep falling on their faces.

Here’s another example.

The University of Phoenix is facing potentially crushing exposure in a class action lawsuit arising out of its use of Meta Pixel and other common targeting pixels. 

The complaint alleges UoP used targeting pixels to track and market to students who viewed recorded online courses and other parts of the UoP website. The suit charges UoP violated two federal laws– the Video Privacy Protection Act and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act.

Now Troutman Amin LLP helps clients navigate VPPA and ECPA issues all the time but UoP didn’t hire Troutman Amin, LLP– they hired a big law firm.

And its not going well.

In Dawson v. University of Phoenix, 2026 WL 92248 (N.D. Ill Jan. 13, 2026) the court held Plaintiff had alleged perfectly valid claims against UoP for violating the VPPA and the ECPA–at least as it came to its use of Facebook pixel–UoP is now facing MASSIVE damages as a result.

Plus violating the ECPA carries criminal penalties of like $500k each (seriously) and UoP staff may end up in prison for up to 5 years over this (I’m kidding, but not really.)

Just terrible. And it all could have been avoided with a cookie banner.

In short this is a train wreck of a dumpster fire for UoP and it never should have happened.

If you have questions about when you can use pixels and tracking software PLEASE get attorneys who know this stuff inside and out. And if you get sued in a VPPA or an ECPA class action DO YOUR RESEARCH and get yourself attorneys who are HIGHLY SKILLED in defending consumer class litigation in the data privacy space!

And yes Troutman Amin LLP just raised its rates– and yes I am now the most expensive attorney in history based on my $6k hourly rate— but if $6k could save you $6MM (or $6BB) then you’d be a fool not to spend it.

Chat soon.
