Under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, any company that uses an autodialing system risks a lawsuit with every call and text.  In fact, the TCPA has become a multi-million dollar litigation industry, in which attorneys and consumers reap enormous profits by forcing well-meaning companies to pay outrageous settlements or risk a crippling judgment.   Maintaining profitability in a highly competitive, fast moving marketplace is  tough enough without having to worry about the constant threat of consumer litigation or regulatory scrutiny, all thanks to a well-intentioned but ridiculously outdated law that shows no signs of changing.
