Evolution Of The Online Tax Debate

rhwalker22 writes "Last November, the Streamlined Sales Tax Project drafted a plan to make it easier for states to cooperate in collecting sales taxes on products sold over the Internet. That plan is now headed to governors and state legislatures for debate. While that debate begins, the sales tax group is moving into new territory, debating how to apply sales taxes to digital services, like music and software downloads, and IP telephony. Most states participating in the sales tax project have sent representatives to Tampa, Fla., this week to take up this subject, according to a report by washingtonpost.com."

    I'm pretty sure this is what our government is doing with our hard earned tax dollars:

    The movie was Star Wars Episode I. The experience was so displeasing that I went to see Episode I in a movie theater and I do not plan to watch a pirated movie again. Mainly because the quality of the 80% of the pirated material sucks and also because I have better things to waste money/bandwith on.

    Run that one by me again, will you?

    You SAW Episode 1 for free. Having found this a displeasing experience (didn't we all) you then went and PAID to see it AGAIN? What kind of masochist are you?
