Well, the state convinced a judge that an affiliate in the state was the same as having an actual store in the state. A "physical presence". Therefore, should not be exempt from collecting sales taxes on sales, like any other store. Thats why if you buy something on Amazon and have it delivered to a NY address, you have to pay tax. Overstock.com already bans affiliates from NY.
It's not hard to imagine that carrying over to any kind of sale, especially in NY where some services are already taxed.
