They are trying to get all those who have an apartment. But whats really going to happen is that streamers are going to use out of state addresses. Then they are going to figure out where the IP is. And so they are going to start to use firewalls to hide IPs. And of course there are those who will simply move out of state. Most people have more than one streaming service. So those people may just limit the number of streaming services. And I wonder what they will do with Prime? They have free streaming with no delivery fee. Are they going to try and figure out how much is the streaming portion?
Chicago has a entertainment tax. They charge that on cable. So now nobody gets cable anymore. They just get internet.
Internet is the new cable.
And to make up for lost tax revenue, it’s going to be taxed like it.
BTW, I heard the tax will also include downloads of ebooks and periodicals.
