So, they're going to try to get back-taxes as well?
Didn't we already go through this situation with COPA and internet radio - not only do you have to pay from now on, but you've got to pay for the last 5 years?
Fuck that shit.

No, they can't go after back taxes. There is a clause in the Constitution somewhere about Congress not being able to create "ex post facto" laws. My guess is that the companies that have made agreements were not collecting sales tax from customers in their own states and were facing huge penalties so they cut a deal.
