Farnkoff wonders why the Globe came out in favor of a bill that would remove any legal cloud from companies such as Ace but still allow police to go after guys selling tickets outside Fenway Park. Isn't scalping scalping?

... To me, the legislation just sounds like a "selective decriminalization" pushed through by AceTicket and SuperScalp, Inc., not to "protect consumers", but to protect the bottom line and ensure that corporate scalpers avoid prosecution, while still leaving the little guy (which could be you, if you happen to end up with some extra tickets) vulnerable to arrest or other unpleasantness.
