So are you saying that EU websites should be charging tax in the US? That would be a nightmare as the amount of tax varies from state to state. Also, I have seen where people show as being in a different state based on their IP and they were right at home in their own state. So using the IP to figure out where someone is could cause errors and that's not good.
