Although it’s important for companies to focus on those, we also noted that even in states without specific laws on point, enforcers could still rely on laws that more generally outlaw deceptive and unfair acts and practices to challenge how companies display their prices. A [new lawsuit](https://communications.kelleydrye.com/e/1ckor8f7mwe62q) filed this week by the DC Attorney General against StubHub provides [yet another](https://communications.kelleydrye.com/e/uwkkvyqkviz4iqq) perfect example. ##### [Cameo Settles with 30 AGs Over Endorsement Issues](https://communications.kelleydrye.com/e/ysucohfkkjoubcg) Cameo is a platform where people can pay celebrities to record videos with scripted personal messages. Jimmy Kimmel recently used the platform to see if he could get George Santos to say silly things and then Kimmel aired those videos on his late night show. Santos later [sued](https://communications.kelleydrye.com/e/kjeg2yfrgctjw) Kimmel, accusing him of copyright infringement, and the two are battling that out in court. But today, it’s Cameo that finds itself in a legal battle.
