Help requested! So if I have this straight: (1.) California residents used to be able to buy books from, say, Amazon and not pay sales tax. (2.) New law says that now Amazon has to charge CA sales tax *if* Amazon has warehouses, offices, or employees in CA (3.) Because of the "if" above, Amazon is saying "marketing affiliates" won't get commission because they would constitute "employees" or the legal equivalent. (also this must imply that Amazon will close any of its facilities there and not open any) Questions: (a.) By "marketing affiliate" they mean a CA-based web site about, say, quantum mechanics that has a link to David Deutsch's book, The Fabric of Reality? That site used to get a commission, but now they won't? Is that correct? (b.) Thus the web site (and it's employees and revenue) could move to another state and still thus re-enable the revenue? (c.) But there are Amazon competitors still willing to paying the commission like B&N?
