I've been posting about how Amazon and Overstock and such are dealing with how New York was forcing them to collect sales tax because affiliates live in the state, and the state considers that a "physical presence" in the state.

So from their POV, maybe terminating all affiliates from the state is one way to avoid having to do peoples tax homework for them.

Some good lawyer needs to help these states define physical presence. Surely a guy or gal sitting at a computer in their spare room is not a store-front.
