@willy: "Tonight, Matt Drudge on his radio is very concerned about tomorrow's
scheduled rulings regarding some internet issues by the Supreme Court.
Drudge claims that Internet Taxation will be endorsed tomorrow and The Court
will outlaw all types of file-sharing and downloads.
If you have to pay sales taxes on everything purchased, will you continue
buying on e-bay, etc.?
If you have to report/collect/pay sales taxes for every internet sale or
trade, how will you react?"
    @willy: ""aiwaloki" <> In NY, we already have to report those Ebay Transactions and
out of state purchases. I think $5.00 covers up to $2000+ on our annual
income tax.  It is really an honor system that nets the state government
extra tax dollars. To me, the majority of stuff on Ebay has already had the
taxed paid on it, just like a used car.

It will affect e-bay if the small sellers have to collect taxes along with
the "e-stores." If all the retail stores have to collect internet taxes,
then they will probably want everyone else to have the same disadvantage."
