Lots of people won't have much worries with this tax law, I'm sure it will follow up with many instate tax laws in most states for Internet sales. I think many people run rather automated, from the processor, to nats, to payouts.. From adult to mainstream, this is one major technical shift that would have to be made.

"Enzi's bill, introduced this week, relies on the agreement when providing "federal authorization" to require out-of-state retailers "to collect and remit the sales and use taxes" due on the purchase. (Small businesses with less than $5 million in out-of-state sales are exempted.)"

What % of US based online companies move more than $5m in out-of-state (country?) business? $400k+ a month in online sales business, that' has to cut out a pretty damn big % of the people, may not be so hard business wise for these companies to comply, still sucks though.

"sales and use taxes" - A use tax.. what the hell.
