Actually Phogg's earlier response ("I bet on Amazon") might be helping me understand this. It could be that at the time New York enacted their law, they were in a much stronger position financially than California is now. I guess Amazon is betting that if they strong-arm the state of California, then California will back down, since they have big problems right now.

I wonder, though: how much business did Amazon lose in New York state when they started collecting sales tax? I, for one, did not change my buying patterns at all. I just pay the sales tax.
