Most businesses do the same as me. There's usually a way to get around ridiculous laws, and you can bet people in that affiliates program in CA will find a way to stay in it even if it means going through a relative in another state.

They just sign up with different advertisers. One blog I know was already moving toward "author sponsors" (it's obviously a book site). This just seals the deal--and may affect the ad rates.
Some will probably move to B&N affiliate and/or google.
