What I had in mind was that the initial post indicates it's a question of whether a California company should have to charge NY sales tax on an item. Regardless of the type of merchandise and whether it's inherently taxable or not, I can't see the question even arising unless the company has a brick and mortar presence of some sort in NY, as Apple does. I probably didn't express it well.
