So if I understand this right, because I live in North Taxolina, whenever someone in another state clicks on an affiliate link on my website that is hosted on a server in another state, and buys something shipped to them from yet another state, with none of the transaction, data or merchandise actually passing through North Carolina, they expect to collect a tax above and beyond the income tax I pay on my affiliate income simply because I, the website owner, live in North Carolina?
Yep, that sounds unconstitutional to me.

wow, that’s rotten news! will they start shutting down other affiliate programs in your area, too?

since you’re on libsyn, why don’t you try taking on advertising with their wizard media setup?
