It wasn't practical to keep affiliates from California...
if they chose to keep affiliates from CA, then they would need to start collecting 10% or whatever tax on all sales to that state... for a pretty low margin business like amazon, 10% is HUUUGE....
that would clearly hit their bottom line more than "cutting off" a few affiliates... any serious affiliate from CA would just incoroporate in some other state anyway and business would continue as usual... the only affiliates really effected would be some amateurs earning $50/month....
