I still dont pay sales tax on my amazon but they did have some trouble in CA with that.

Reminds me of under GWB years when some grandma got hit up with a demand of ~ $50K by a record company because her granddaugher downoaded a few songs.

I dont see that happening anymore, but online radio stations must pay to play the sonds now but every windows 7 has a built in audeo recorder to record the stream as it is playing.

Now they seem to target those who share files.

Ironic that in the GWB years when Walmark was underpricing other stores and many folded and some states/cities went after them how National Review and others defended them as market success, now they (walmarts) want to use the government to crash internet companies as others tried to do to them.
