TCPA and cold calling

[applestand]

Hi everyone. I've been reading around and reasearchng a lot and I'm getting a bit of 2 sides of what to expect from the new TCPA laws that will pass on the 27th regarding 1 to 1 consent. Some are saying that it's designed mainly around automated marketing (auto dialers, mass text messages) and that manually cold calling public data thats scrubbed for the DNC is still fair game, and some are saying that any calls to anyone that hasn't opted in you will be sued to high heaven. My understanding is that it's aimed at "regulated technologies" like sequential dialers, and persistent text spam. But what about the earnest insurance salesman that's manually dialing public data that's been scrubbed for Do Not Call list? Is this a violation too? What are your takes?

Here is a lawyer addressing this exact issue. At 17:25 mark. I've read and heard a lot to the contray of this. That all cold calls not on DNC called manually would be a violation. Thoughts?

It sounds like the law mainly targets automated systems, not manual calls to scrubbed public data.

From my understanding from watching many videos over the past yr it's basically 1 lead sold to one person . Whether you put that lead in a dialer is irrelevant. So if I buy a Facebook lead from x vendor the person filling the lead out has given 1 to 1 consent for the buyer of the lead to call them . That lead can't be sold to 30 other people like it is now .95% of lead vendors in the past have sold that lead 10-30 times.Now we all know 98% of calling is by foreign telemarketers. They won't stop I assure you . But I expect a field day by professional lidigators sueing agents
