Here's what stinks imo in terms of Amazon is doing.
They've cut off the affiliates, screwing them over. But they still have offices here in California. So it changes nothing. They remain, under this law, required to collect taxes because even without the affiliates they have a presence in California. So cutting off the affiliates is a pure publicity move. They're trying to gain sympathy by saying, "Look at all these poor people we had to cut off to avoid the headache of this law," but in reality doing so avoids nothing. That's a pretty sh*tty thing to do to the affiliates.
