Amazon Tax - round 2

http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20090113-sales-tax-holiday-may-be-over-for-amazon-other-e-tailers.html

The most important thing to understand here is that this is only round 2. We have a long way to go before this problem is solved.

Basically there is no commercial relationship between amazon and their referral agents, this ruling will get overturned eventually otherwise non internet out of state companies are all going to get caught up in this supposed 'internet only' tax.

I guarantee that amazon would prefer to kick out all NY state based referral agents first before they lose the price advantage they have over retail stores.


Cheers,
