When amazon dropped NC affiliates I noticed but it didn't affect me as I've switched from amazon long ago but it still bothered me.
This sounds like great news to me...NC tax everything bastards. :angryfire:

Amazon sues N.C. over customer data :: WRAL.com


Raleigh, N.C. — Online retail giant Amazon.com has filed suit to block the North Carolina Department of Revenue's attempts to find out who in the state is buying what online so the state can collect sales tax on the purchases.
The suit, filed Monday in federal court in Seattle, names Revenue Secretary Ken Lay as the defendant. Amazon is seeking a court order that would halt the Revenue Department's efforts as a violation of the First Amendment.
 


Hopefully other states will see this suit and just say fuck it all-together; states would lose in the long run regardless.
